Design and Analysis of Experiments

Design and Analysis of Experiments by Montgomery, Douglas C.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780471520009.

Completely revised and expanded, this Third Edition maintains a balance between design and analysis topics, but includes new material and numerous updated examples. Added, expanded and reorganized chapters provide more in-depth treatment of 2k factorial and fractional factorial designs; brand new topical coverage of factorial and fractional factorial design; a discussion of the Taguchi approach to parameter design, along with a critique of this method and recommended alternatives; additional topics on the selection of a response surface design; and an introduction to the mixture problem. Throughout, it stresses the importance of experimental design (as a tool for the practicing engineer) to product design and development, process development and improvement and process troubleshooting.
