	Design of Experiments
		When understanding your design space is important, a HEEDS DOE study is often the ideal approach to extract a great deal of useful information with as little computational or experimental effort as possible.
		In a CAE-based DOE study, your CAE model is evaluated multiple times with the design variables set to different values in each run.
		DOE studies based on physical experiments are performed in a similar manner, except that a physical experiment replaces each CAE run.

	DOE Software: STATISTICA Design of Experiments Software by StatSoft
		The options for analyzing all factorial, response surface, and mixture designs are general in nature, can handle unbalanced and incomplete designs, and give the user full control of the choice of models to be fitted to the data.
		The fractional design generators and block generators of the design, as well as the matrix of aliases of main effects and interactions can also be reviewed.
		In addition to the standard options available for all designs (adding runs, randomization, replications, factor highs and lows, etc.; refer to the description of 2(k-p) designs**) the user has the choice of star-points that are face-centered, or computed for rotatability, orthogonality, or both.

	Design of Experiments
		Before an experiment can be conducted, the experimental design must be carefully planned to ensure that experimental objectives can be accomplished, assumptions required for hypotheses testing and data analysis are valid, randomization requirements are met, and the experiment is reproducible.
		Specifically, experimental design has to do with the precise way different treatments (control factors) are administered to experimental units (subjects, parts, etc.) and what information is to be collected on the experimental units and other conditions that might affect the experimental units.
		Some designs attempt to maximize information from an experiment with as few experimental units as possible, which can be important when the units are expensive or the experiment is time-consuming per unit.

	ROBUST PRODUCT DESIGN THROUGH DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS
		This efficient design of experiments is based on a fractional factorial experiment which allows an experiment to be conducted with only a fraction of all the possible experimental combinations of parameter values.
		The design parameters or factors of concern are identified in an inner array or design factor matrix which specifies the factor level or design parameter test cases.
		Very simply, a design factor with a large difference in the signal noise ratio from one factor setting to another indicates that the factor or design parameter is a significant contributor to the achievement of the performance characteristic.

	Design of Experiments: An Overview and Application Example (MDDI archive, Mar 96)
		A strategy for planning research known as design of experiments (DOE) was first introduced in the early 1920s when a scientist at a small agricultural research station in England, Sir Ronald Fisher, showed how one could conduct valid experiments in the presence of many naturally fluctuating conditions such as temperature, soil condition, and rainfall.
		Using a factorial design for the blood coagulation example, as shown in Figure 2, running a test with both variables at their high level yielded a rate of 60, not 41 as previously estimated.
		A factorial design makes it possible not only to determine the main effects of each variable, but also to estimate the interaction (i.e., synergistic effect) between the two factors, a calculation that is impossible with the one- factor-at-a-time experiment design.

	Statistics Glossary - Design of Experiments & ANOVA
		The structure of the experiment in a completely randomised design is assumed to be such that the treatments are allocated to the experimental units completely at random.
		The randomised complete block design is a design in which the subjects are matched according to a variable which the experimenter wishes to control.
		Using a randomised blocks design, the subjects are assessed and put in blocks of four according to how severe their skin condition is; the four most severe cases are the first block, the next four most severe cases are the second block, and so on to the twentieth block.

	Design of Experiments
		The classical experiment is an artificial setting, constructed so that subjects are randomly assigned to experimental and control conditions, and all conditions are held constant except for one (the experimental condition).
		Often, experiments are designed to prove the obvious.
		In a true experiment, this effect would also occur in the control group, and so be subtracted from the measurement of the effect in the experimental group.
