BIOS 7080 – DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS
Course Learning Objectives
The objective of this course is to introduce basic techniques and methodology for
designing and analysis of experiments commonly encountered in the field of Health
Sciences, Industrial Engineering, and Agricultural Sciences. The emphasis would be
given on foundation of the theory of experimental designs and the analysis and their
interpretation of results as they relate to experimental objectives.
The student will be able to
1. Describe basic principles of experimental designs
2. Distinguish the difference between “design factor” and “noise factor”.
3. Analyze data using the following designs
(a) Completely Randomized Designs
(b) The Random Effects Model
(c) Factorial Treatment Designs
(d) Random Effects Model for Factorial Designs
(e) Nested, Nested-Crossed Factor Designs
(f) Randomized Complete Block Designs
(g) Latin Square Designs
(h) Factorial Designs in Complete Block Designs
(i) Repeated Measures Designs
4. Interpret diagnostic analysis
5. Analyze post hoc analysis using multiple comparison tests on means
6. Estimate sample sizes and power analysis
7. Interpret and demonstrate results of analysis of variance designs
