Design and Analysis of Experiments, V3 Special Designs and Applications

This book discusses special modifications and extensions of designs that arise in certain fields of application such as genetics, bioinformatics, agriculture, medicine, manufacturing, marketing, etc. Well-known and highly-regarded contributors have written individual chapters that have been extensively reviewed by the Editor to ensure that each individual contribution relates to material found in Volumes 1 and 2 of this book series. The chapters in Volume 3 have an introductory/historical component and proceed to a more advanced technical level to discuss the latest results and future developments in the field. Thus, Volume 3 serves as supplement to both Volume 1 and Volume 2 and is also accessible not only to statistics graduate students, but also to non-statistical readers. Where appropriate, numerical examples using the statistical software SAS(r) are included in the book. Topical coverage includes: genetic cross experiments; designs for microarrays; incomplete cross-over designs; clinical trials; group sequential designs; adaptive designs; choice experiments; taste-testing experiments; grazing experiments; inter-cropping and competition designs; greenhouse experiments; long-term agricultural experiments; designs for circular and directional data; trend-free designs; one-at-a-time factorial designs; sequential fractional factorial designs; irregular fractional factorial designs; split-plot type response surface designs; multi-response designs; and computer experiments.
