About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is an excellent educational aid for teaching the methodology of experimental design and response surface analysis. It is also a valuable resource for use in R&D as well as for the development or improvement of both analytical methodologies and industrial processes. The authors describe the benefits of the sequential strategy of factorial design, explore the screening design technique developed by Plackett and Burman as an alternative to preliminary selection, and review statistical science essentials to aid readers in understanding and applying the concepts presented.

About this title

Synopsis

Experimental Design and Process Optimization delves deep into the design of experiments (DOE). The book includes Central Composite Rotational Design (CCRD), fractional factorial, and Plackett and Burman designs as a means to solve challenges in research and development as well as a tool for the improvement of the processes already implemented. Appropriate strategies for 2 to 32 factors are covered in detail in the book.

The book covers the essentials of statistical science to assist readers in understanding and applying the concepts presented. It also presents numerous examples of applications using this methodology. The authors are not only experts in the field but also have significant practical experience. This allows them to discuss the application of the theoretical aspects discussed through various real-world case studies.
