Title: Design of Experiments;
Course Information: Sound experimental design is of vital importance when conducting any scientific experiment. Choices made at the design stage have the potential to drastically impact the results of any study. A strong experimental design gives the researcher an improved chance of a successful experiment. A poorly considered or implemented design can have a ruinous effect on the investigation. In this short course, basic elements of experimental design such as randomization, replication, and blocking will be discussed using real world experiments. Interpretation of experimental results will be compared and contrasted with interpretation of results from observational studies.
LISA also provides free statistical collaboration and consulting: visit www.lisa.stat.vt.edu to schedule an appointment.
Free daily Walk-in Consulting Service is available from 12-2pm in 401 Hutcheson Hall. See www.lisa.stat.vt.edu/?q=walk_in for more details.
