Professionals in all areas – business; government; the physical, life, and social sciences; engineering; medicine, etc. – benefit from using statistical experimental design to better understand their worlds and then use that understanding to improve the products, processes, and programs they are responsible for. This book aims to provide the practitioners of tomorrow with a memorable, easy to read, engaging guide to statistics and experimental design.

This book uses examples, drawn from a variety of established texts, and embeds them in a business or scientific context, seasoned with a dash of humor, to emphasize the issues and ideas that led to the experiment and the what-do-we-do-next? steps after the experiment. Graphical data displays are emphasized as means of discovery and communication and formulas are minimized, with a focus on interpreting the results that software produce. The role of subject-matter knowledge, and passion, is also illustrated. The examples do not require specialized knowledge, and the lessons they contain are transferrable to other contexts.  

Fundamentals of Statistical Experimental Design and Analysis introduces the basic elements of an experimental design, and the basic concepts underlying statistical analyses. Subsequent chapters address the following families of experimental designs:

  • Completely Randomized designs, with single or multiple treatment factors, quantitative or qualitative
  • Randomized Block designs
  • Latin Square designs
  • Split-Unit designs
  • Repeated Measures designs
  • Robust designs
  • Optimal designs

Written in an accessible, student-friendly style, this book is suitable for a general audience and particularly for those professionals seeking to improve and apply their understanding of experimental design.
Industry Reviews
"This is an interesting and very useful book that explains the basic concepts and fundamentals of statistical experimental design and analysis to its readers in an easy-to-understand and accessible style"......" Rather than presenting the statistical design of experiments as a cut-and-dried subject, the author spices up this book with a sense of humour and fun"....." Students, professionals, and researchers will find it interesting. It is a welcome addition to the statistics market" D. V. Chopra, MathSciNet, Aug 2017

"Easterling sets out to provide a textbook for an undergraduate course in applied experimental design for a mixed group of students. He succeeds admirably. Although many excellent texts on experimental design exist for statistics students, most are too technical for mixed disciplines. This book covers only basic designs but with extensive discussion of matters other textbooks elide or ignore. Examples from respected textbooks are elaborated to show the reasoning underpinning experimentation and the need to combine statistical and subject-area knowledge ... this is a book that can be enjoyed by students being taught how and why to work with a statistician, and by statisticians who want to work more productively in teams with other disciplines." Significance, 14:6 (2017)
