Douglas C. Montgomery Bücher

The eighth edition of Design and Analysis of Experiments continues to provide extensive and in-depth information on engineering, business, and statistics-as well as informative ways to help readers design and analyze experiments for improving the quality, efficiency and performance of working systems.

This book is about the use of modern statistical methods for quality control and improvement. It provides comprehensive coverage of the subject from basic principles to state-of-art concepts and applications. The objective is to give the reader a sound understanding of the principles and the basis for applying them in a variety of both product and nonproduct situations. While statistical techniques are emphasized throughout, the book has a strong engineering and management orientation. Guidelines are given throughout the book for selecting the proper type of statistical technique to use in a wide variety of product and nonproduct situations. By presenting theory, and supporting the theory with clear and relevant examples, Montgomery helps the reader to understand the big picture of important concepts. Updated to reflect contemporary practice and provide more information on management aspects of quality improvement.

Focusing on practical applications in engineering, this book emphasizes probability and statistical methods relevant to students' future careers. It features a wealth of examples and problem sets that mirror real-world engineering challenges. Key topics include the bootstrap method, p-value usage, equivalence testing, and combining p-values. The content is thoroughly vetted for accuracy, ensuring students gain a solid understanding of statistical techniques applied in engineering contexts.
