Statistics 5303
Designing Experiments

In this course we discuss proper design and analysis of experiments, including the role of randomization, selecting sample sizes, allocating treatments to experimental units. Designs covered include completely randomized designs, designs with factorial treatment structure, random and mixed effects, complete and incomplete blocked designs, Latin Squares, confounding, split plots, fractional factorials, and response surfaces. Examples and exercises are taken from a broad range of subject areas. The emphasis in this course will be on design, not analysis.
