Response Surfaces ─ Designs and Analyses

The Second Edition of this invaluable reference/text presents the latest techniques for designing experiments that yield adequate and reliable measurements of one or several responses of interest, fitting and testing the suitability of empirical models used for acquiring information from the experiments, and for utilizing the experimental results to make decisions concerning the system under investigation.
Response Surfaces, Second Edition now contains new chapters on response surface models with block effects and Taguchi's robust parameter design...new details on transformations of response variables...new material on modified ridge analysis...new design criteria, including rotatability for multiresponse experiments...a new technique for displaying correlations among several responses...new material regarding measures of rotatability...numerical examples throughout plus exercises and worked solutions to selected problems, many new to this edition...and more.
