CRC Press Optimal Experimental Design with R - CRC Press Textbook

Many researchers treat statistics as a set of tools for analyzing data after the fact, often overlooking the importance of how that data is gathered. This book addresses that gap by moving beyond simple data analysis to focus on the foundation of research: optimal design. Optimal Experimental Design with R provides a concise introduction to the theory behind experimental design. It helps researchers move past the common mistake of ignoring prerequisites, such as determining the exact sample size required to achieve precise answers for specific experimental questions. By teaching the philosophy of design alongside practical application, this text helps you build better experiments from the start. It offers a straightforward process for constructing designs and calculating necessary parameters, ensuring your research is built on a mathematically sound framework. Whether you are working in applied or mathematical statistics, this resource helps you bridge the gap between theory and effective data collection.
