✦ Synopsis

How are the data to be collected and what are the factors that effect the responses?

If an experiment has been properly designed or planned, the data will be collected in the most efficient form for the problem being considered. Experimental design is the sequence of steps initially taken to insure that the data will be obtained in such a way that its analysis will lead immediately to valid statistical inferences. Before a design can be chosen, the following questions must be answered:

. How to measure the response and the factor's effect?

. How many of the factors will affect the response?

. How many of the factors will be considered simultaneously?

. How many replications (repetitions) of the experiment will be required?

.

What type of data analysis is required (regression, ANOVA, etc.)?
