Experimentation is a vital part of the scientific method. Most problems in science require observation of the system at work and experimentation to elucidate information about how the system works. In ...

Since 1965 almost all of the contributions to the design and analysis of factorial experiments have involved fractional factorial plans. These contributions may be categorized by three main classes of ...

The analysis of complex factorial experiments is performed most efficiently and reliably by means of a tabular procedure suggested by Yates and described originally for the case of n factors each at ...

The previous example illustrates a complete factorial experiment involving eight runs and three factors: cutting speed (SPEED), feed rate (FEED), and tool angle (ANGLE). Now, suppose two machines (A ...
