Design of Experiments: Statistical Principles of Research Design and Analysis

by Robert O. Kuehl

Robert Kuehl's DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS, Second Edition, prepares students to design and analyze experiments that will help them succeed in the real world. Kuehl uses a large array of real data sets from a broad spectrum of scientific and technological fields. This approach provides realistic settings for conducting actual research projects. Next, he emphasizes the importance of developing a treatment design based on a research hypothesis as an initial step, then developing an experimental or observational study design that facilitates efficient data collection. In addition to a consistent focus on research design, Kuehl offers an interpretation for each analysis.

Smart methods, elegant mathematics. Even statisticians and mathematicians have difficulties to understand the core of experimental design. Simultaneously, research scientists design experiments all the time, but almost routinely. This book by Robert Kuehl is useful for both because it elaborates on the mathematics foundations of experiments, but also on the step by step of different designs. In sum, a hard topic, but easily explained. Great book. A classic.
