✦ Synopsis
know how to construct 16 different paper helicopters for use in a fractional factorial experiment. Some patients carry extra weight (the paper clip [factor in the chopper analogy]) low on their anatomies, and some do not. Open communication accelerates quality improvement and cost reduction. The more I play with mine, the more I learn. Algebra to the rescue!' These are not random quotations. I systematically picked the second sentence on pages divisible by 5, bypassing graphs and the like. Random or systematic, the sample conveys the flavour of the bookapart from the inventive use of graphs and the very pleasing layout. Yet the connection from factorial ANOVA to health-administrative 'success stories' is as tenuous as the trace left in the air by those paper choppers of Austin Sloan's which seem to have held his father's mind captive while he was writing.
