presentation of the design and analysis of experiments in approximately
one half the space of competing books. With only the modest prerequisite
of a basic (noncalculus) statistics course, this text is appropriate for the
widest possible audience.

Preface
Experimental Design: Unified Concepts, Practical Applications, and Com-
puter Implementation is a concise and innovative book that gives a c omplete
presentation of the design and analysis of experiments in approximately
one half the space of competing books. With only the modest prereq-
uisite of a basic (noncalculus) statistics course, this text is appropriate
for the widest possible audience—college juniors, seniors, and first year
graduate students in business, the social sciences, the sciences and statis-
tics, as well as professionals in business and industry. Using a unique and
integrative approach, this text organizes and presents the two procedures
for analyzing experimental design data—analysis of variance (ANOVA)
and regression analysis—in such a way that the reader or instructor can
move through the material more quickly and efficiently than when using
competing books and so that the true advantages of both ANOVA and
regression analysis are made clearer.
Because ANOVA is more intuitive, this book devotes most of its first
three chapters to showing how to use ANOVA to analyze the type of
experimental design data that it can be validly used to analyze: balanced
(equal sample size) data or unbalanced (unequal sample size) data from
one factor studies, balanced data from two factor studies (two-way
factorials and randomized block designs), and balanced data from three
or more factor studies. Chapter 3 includes a general ANOVA procedure
for analyzing balanced data experiments.
Regression analysis can be used to analyze almost any balanced or
unbalanced data experiment but is less intuitive than ANOVA. Therefore,
this book waits to discuss regression analysis until it is needed to analyze
data that cannot be analyzed by ANOVA. This is in Section 2.4, where
the analysis of unbalanced data resulting from two-way factorials is dis-
cussed. Waiting until Section 2.4, gives more space to explain regression
analysis from first principles to readers who have little or no background
in this subject and also allows concise discussion of the regression anal-
yses of one factor studies and incomplete block designs. Section 2.4 also
