Catalog Description

Basic principles of design of experiments. Simple comparative experiments. Experiments with a single factor. Experiments with multiple factors with two or mixed levels. Basic response surface designs. Analysis of variance and regression for the experimental designs.

Course Objectives

This course aims to teach key concepts of experimentation. The course also equips the students with skills to develop statistical design of experiments for comparing population parameters, studying effects of variables, and building empirical models of relations between a response and its influential factors. Moreover, the course covers techniques of analyzing data collected from the designed experiments using analysis of variance and regression.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Explain the key concepts of design and analysis of experiments,
2. Define the process of designing a statistical experiment,
3. Characterize a problem or system to be analyzed by identifying design objectives, defining responses and their influential factors, and choosing factor levels,
4. Use strategies for designing and conducting a statistical experiment,
5. Apply basic skills of planning, designing, and conducting statistical experiments,
6. Analyze data generated from the experiments using parametric statistical approaches and interpret the results,
7. Evaluate advantages and disadvantages of different types of experimental designs.
