Practical Experiment Designs for Engineers and Scientists [Paperback]

Most books cover the subject from a statistical or theoretical point of view. Ideal for working engineers, this book uses real-world examples and boils statistical theory and analysis down to its simplest form.

• Features new and updated material, including cases and a larger focus on multivariate analysis.
• Uses simple analysis tools for practical implementation on the job.
• Targets experiment planning as the groundwork for quality experiments.
