This provides a comprehensive listing of books, mainly in English, on the topic of experimental design relative to historical development, classification, construction, experimental layout, and statistical analysis. The books can be used as texts in courses and as references for research. It should be noted that most of the material presented in books places the emphasis on statistical analysis...

a confounder is a variable whose presence affects the variables being studied so that the results do not reflect the actual relationship. there are various ways to exclude or control confounding variables including randomization, restriction and matching. but all these methods are applicable at the time of study design. when experimental designs are premature, impractical, or impossible, resear...

The use of multiple features by a classifier often leads to a reduced probability of error, but the design of an optimal Bayesian classifier for multiple features is dependent on the estimation of multidimensional joint probability density functions and therefore requires a design sample size that, in general, increases exponentially with the number of dimensions. The classification method desc...

This paper discusses model and experimental design aspects of agricultural studies aimed at discerning antagonism or synergy between two or more insecticides, herbicides, or other similar compounds. The developed methods involve a broad class of generalised nonlinear models, which are easily fitted to data using popular statistical packages such as the NLMIXED procedure in SAS software. Sample ...
