Book excerpt: Elucidating a structure for experimentation that reduces excess expenditure of resources, this book explores the basic philosophy behind experimental design and the organizational aspects necessary to carry out both large- and small-scale endeavors. The author offers summaries of key concepts, end-of-chapter problems, and complete step-by-step examples for all methods and techniques covered. He integrates the robust design methodology introduced by Taguchi as a natural part of the design effort and establishes a criterion for measurement variables. The book presents the mathematical aspects of statistical experimental design in an intuitive rather than a theoretical manner.
