University of Oxford. She worked in the Statistics department at the Rothamsted
Experimental Station for 10 years. She has also served as a Professor of Mathematical
Sciences at Goldsmith’s College.
Bailey’s main area of research interest is in experimental design. Some of the
specific topics that she is interested in include Semi-Latin squares, multitiered
experiments, and neighbour-balanced designs. During her career she has written several
books and many articles. She has also collaborated with other scientists to assist in
working on topics such as diabetes in rats and children with behavior problems. She
collaborated with Franklin to develop the Franklin-Bailey algorithm. The algorithm is
for a fractional factorial design and it combines sequential construction with a search
table. R.A. Bailey continues do work in the field of experimental design.
