Statistical Design of Experiments with Engineering Applications


Book Description

In today's high-technology world, with flourishing e-business and intense competition at a global level, the search for the competitive advantage has become a crucial task of corporate executives. Quality, formerly considered a secondary expense, is now universally recognized as a necessary tool. Although many statistical methods are available for




Fundamentals of Statistical Experimental Design and Analysis


Book Description

Professionals in all areas – business; government; the physical, life, and social sciences; engineering; medicine, etc. – benefit from using statistical experimental design to better understand their worlds and then use that understanding to improve the products, processes, and programs they are responsible for. This book aims to provide the practitioners of tomorrow with a memorable, easy to read, engaging guide to statistics and experimental design. This book uses examples, drawn from a variety of established texts, and embeds them in a business or scientific context, seasoned with a dash of humor, to emphasize the issues and ideas that led to the experiment and the what-do-we-do-next? steps after the experiment. Graphical data displays are emphasized as means of discovery and communication and formulas are minimized, with a focus on interpreting the results that software produce. The role of subject-matter knowledge, and passion, is also illustrated. The examples do not require specialized knowledge, and the lessons they contain are transferrable to other contexts. Fundamentals of Statistical Experimental Design and Analysis introduces the basic elements of an experimental design, and the basic concepts underlying statistical analyses. Subsequent chapters address the following families of experimental designs: Completely Randomized designs, with single or multiple treatment factors, quantitative or qualitative Randomized Block designs Latin Square designs Split-Unit designs Repeated Measures designs Robust designs Optimal designs Written in an accessible, student-friendly style, this book is suitable for a general audience and particularly for those professionals seeking to improve and apply their understanding of experimental design.




Design of Experiments With Minitab


Book Description

Most of the classic DOE books were written before DOE software was generally available, so the technical level that they assumed was that of the engineer or scientist who had to write his or her own analysis software. In this practical introduction to DOE, guided by the capabilities of the common software packages, Paul Mathews presents the basic types and methods of designed experiments appropriate for engineers, scientists, quality engineers, and Six Sigma Black Belts and Master Black Belts. Although instructions in the use of Minitab are detailed enough to provide effective guidance to a new Minitab user, the book is still general enough to be very helpful to users of other DOE software packages. Every chapter contains many examples with detailed solutions including extensive output from Minitab.




An Introduction to Design of Experiments


Book Description

This book is intended for people who have either been intimidated in their attempts to learn about Design of Experiments (DOE) or who have not appreciated the potential of that family of tools in their process improvement efforts. This introduction to DOE showcases the power and utility of this statistical tool while teaching the audience how to plan and analyze an experiment. It is also an attempt to dispel the conception that DOE is reserved only for those with advanced mathematics training. It will be demonstrated that DOE is primarily a logic tool that can be easily grasped and applied, requiring only basic math skills. The book's intent is to introduce the basics and persuade the reader of the power of this tool. The material covered will still be sufficient to support a high proportion of the experiments one may wish to perform. Contents:Introduction, Experiments with Two Factors, The Analytical Procedures, The Eight Steps for Analysis of Effects, Review of the Experimental Procedures, The Spreadsheet Approach, Experiments with Three Factors, Variation Analysis, Analysis with Unreplicated Experiments, Screening Design, Other Types of Design, Problems and Questions, Review of the Basics in Managing DOE, What Inhibits Applications of DOE?




Optimum Experimental Designs, With SAS


Book Description

Experiments on patients, processes or plants all have random error, making statistical methods essential for their efficient design and analysis. This book presents the theory and methods of optimum experimental design, making them available through the use of SAS programs. Little previous statistical knowledge is assumed. The first part of the book stresses the importance of models in the analysis of data and introduces least squares fitting and simple optimum experimental designs. The second part presents a more detailed discussion of the general theory and of a wide variety of experiments. The book stresses the use of SAS to provide hands-on solutions for the construction of designs in both standard and non-standard situations. The mathematical theory of the designs is developed in parallel with their construction in SAS, so providing motivation for the development of the subject. Many chapters cover self-contained topics drawn from science, engineering and pharmaceutical investigations, such as response surface designs, blocking of experiments, designs for mixture experiments and for nonlinear and generalized linear models. Understanding is aided by the provision of "SAS tasks" after most chapters as well as by more traditional exercises and a fully supported website. The authors are leading experts in key fields and this book is ideal for statisticians and scientists in academia, research and the process and pharmaceutical industries.
