STAT 455 Experimental Design

(3:3:0) Prerequisite: STAT 350 or STAT 354 or DESC 353. Principles of analysis of variance and experimental design. Topics covered include computation and interpretation of analysis of variance, multiple comparisons, orthogonal contrasts, design of experiments including factorial, hierarchical, and split plot designs, principles of blocking and confounding in 2**n experiments, estimation of variance components. Optional topics may include analysis of covariance, partial hierarchical designs, or incomplete block designs. Computer statistical packages are used to perform computations.
