Product Description:
Design of Experiments (DOE) provides a statistical means for analyzing how numerous variables interact. The tool is a planned approach for determining cause and effect relationships.
In DOE Simplified, 2nd Edition, the authors provide updates to their successful first edition, while retaining the lively approach to learning the fundamentals.
The book covers all the essentials:
Statistics for DOE.
Simple methods for collecting/displaying data and how to draw inferences.
Confidence intervals.
Comparative experiments for testing hypotheses.
Blocking sources of variation from the analysis.
Two-level factorial designs.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA).
A chapter on the keys to setting up a good design of experiments and executing it successfully has been added that details a four-step planning process for design of experiment, including assessment of statistical power.
Filled with fun anecdotes and sidebars, DOE Simplified, 2nd Edition cuts through the complexities of this powerful tool for quality improvement.
Included with this book is a new version of Stat-Ease's software: Design-Ease version 7. This 180-day educational program assists with mathematic computations and lets the reader focus on analysis of the data.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - VERY easy to read; a great intro for novices
Being a beginner in the world of DOE (with minimal statistics training), this book was TRULY a godsend. Very easy to understand-- I feel I was able to get a nice grasp of the concepts I'd heard about so often before but could never quite nail down. I did a 2-day training at SAS on DOE and this little book blew that away. Lots of examples and practice problems to get some experience under my belt.
Some people are critical because they say it's "oversimplified"... but come on guys, ... Read More
Rating:  - A Reasonable Quick Survey
DOE Simplified is perhaps overly simplified. The author tries to pack ANOVA, factorial experimentation, use of blocking and fold overs, and response-surface methodology inside 200 pages. The attempt is admirable, but the book would be hard for a beginner to fully understand due to information gaps, especially on why the techniques work (at least on an intuitive level). The person who would benefit most is that person needing a refresher after a being away from DOE for some time.
Rating: - A Truly Brief Introduction to DOE
The book is a very brief introduction to DOE. I had read other reviews that stated that it was only a very brief intro to DOE. My thoughts when purchasing the book was that would be what I needed since I had not previously worked with statistical experimental design. Having now gone more than half way through the book, I found that I could not follow the solutions without the aid of other more detailed statistical design of experiments texts. If you are truly a beginner, I suggest using this book while ... Read More
Rating: - Basic book on DOE-lack theory
Simplified is the key. This book offers a very basic approach to DOE. It's good for someone who wants a quick start in DOE.
Rating: - Very straightforward
Great book. Steps through basic stats in anticipation of use for DOEs. Good examples and well-written. Easy to recommend.
