Learn how to significantly improve your R&D quality and efficiency and how to match appropriate experimental designs to real-world problems with two expert instructors. Basic concepts of experimental design will be covered, as well as strengths and limitations of popular experimental design techniques; the applicability of common designs; and determining which experimental designs are appropriate or inappropriate for particular situations. The course assumes no previous knowledge of statistics and is aimed at both beginning and experienced R&D scientists.
