Basic Experimental Strategies and Data Analysis for Science and EngineeringAuthor(s): John Lawson, John Erjavec\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Chapman & Hall/CRC\nISBN-13: 9780367574086, 978-0367574086\nSynopsis\nEvery technical investigation involving trial-and-error experimentation embodies a strategy for deciding what experiments to perform, when to quit, and how to interpret the data. This handbook presents several statistically derived strategies which are more efficient than any intuitive approach and will get the investigator to their goal with the fewest experiments, give the greatest degree of reliability to their conclusions, and keep the risk of overlooking something of practical importance to a minimum. \n\nFeatures:\n\nProvides a comprehensive desk reference on experimental design that will be useful to practitioners without extensive statistical knowledge\n\nFeatures a review of the necessary statistical prerequisit.
