Abstract

     Design of Experiment seeks an efficient way to collect useful information. In the past decade, we have witnessed the resolution of information technology. Many classical methods in design of experiment originated from agricultural problems and may not be appropriate for the informatic era. This talk attempts to explore some important issues in design of experiment that deserve immediate attention for future research. Topics to be discussed include supersaturated design, uniform design, computer experiment, optimal foldover plan, dispersion analysis, and multi-response surface methodology. For each subject the problem will be introduced, some initial results will be presented, and future research problems will be suggested.
