This book offers a step-by-step guide to the experimental planning process and the ensuing analysis of normally distributed data, emphasizing the practical considerations governing the design of an experiment. Data sets are taken from real experiments and sample SAS programs are included with each chapter. Experimental design is an essential part of investigation and discovery in science; this book will serve as a modern and comprehensive reference to the subject.
This is a reference text which doesn't make much sense to use as a reference text. Some of the examples are decent, but this is a subject that is hard to write for. You don't really know how to design and analyze experiment unless you are, you know, actively designing and analyzing experiments. Unfortunately, they made the decision to write this book as if you will be reading from it in a vacuum. Pity.
