Jacques Goupy. Lee Creighton Introduction to Design of Experiments third edition

This book first appeared in 1988. Since then, the use of designed experiments (DOE) has
developed considerably in the industrial and academic worlds. Many software packages
dedicated to designed experiments have appeared, and these have simplified design
construction, removed difficulties in calculation, and allowed rapid visualization of
graphs that give unique insights into experimental results.
These developments compelled us to update the original Introduction aux Plans
d’Exp?riences in order to take these rapid changes into account. We also saw an
opportunity to share the concepts with an even broader audience. This is why SAS Press
in the USA and Dunod in France decided to offer a third edition in both English and
French. The first and second editions deal only with full- and fractional-factorial designs.
The third edition adds chapters on response surface designs, mixture designs, D-optimal
designs, and designs for discrete variables. This diversity would have not been possible
without mode software, which easily constructs all of these designs (and more), and
which carries out the most complex calculations easily and swiftly.
