This book explores experimental design and its use in statistical analysis. Divided into five parts, it covers the statistical methods used in experimental design; introduces randomization, replication and blocking; explores designs with more than one factor focusing chiefly on two-level designs; examines fractional factorial designs; and discusses response surface methodology. Written by some of the foremost lecturers in analytical chemistry and designed for those who wish to study in a more flexible way than possible in traditional institutional learning.
