EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN (2 Credits)

Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of this Course, students will be able to: Analyze some statistical tools that would be important for hypotesis testing and analysis of variance; Assess some statistical tools and analysis of variance for designing two- or three-level factorial design; Integrate the knowledge of the two- or three-level factorial design into the real life or experiments in the laboratory in order to achieve an optimum state of experiments (time-saving, resources-efficient manner).

Topics:

1. Introduction;
2. Statistical tools;
3. Hypotesis testing;
4. ANOVA (analysis of variance);
5. Two-level factorial design (2k design);
6. Two-level fractional factorial design (2k-n design);
7. Three-level factorial design (3k design).
