Experimental design [QS-19E]

Goal

You will be familiar with the fundamentals of design of experiments and understand how these methods could be effectively use in optimization of your experiments. The acquired know-how provides the basis for proper conduction of experiments and analysis of information they yield.

Target Group

Persons interested in using methods of experimental design for planning their experiments.

Content

• General outline for screening experiments
• Factorial and fractional factorial designs
• Response surface methods
• Quantitative relations: Observed responses and experimental variations.
• Optimisation when there are several response variables
• Computer applications and literature for further reading

Approach

Lectures, calculations on sample data sets, discussion of selected applications.
