Background

Proper analysis of data and efficient planning of experiment is (or should be!) a part of every scientist’s toolbox. In this short course, an outline of different terms within Design of Experiments (DoE) and the theory behind “when to use what” are given. After a reminder on the basics of statistics required for experimental planning (sampling, univariate linear regression, etc.) on the first day we will look at the setup and analysis of designed experiments and statistical inference/decision making from designed data (Designs, ANOVA, etc.) on the second day. We will discuss efficient planning and optimizations techniques useful in e.g. yield optimization in production processes or instrumental optimization in analytical chemistry procedures.

Audience

The course is intended for people handling problems where using DoE can be an advantage when setting up the experiments or people who have general interest in knowing how to setup and use efficient experimental designs. Basic mathematical and statistical ideas will be used (and explained!) during the course, and the theory will be accompanied by computer exercises.

 

Software

Python/Jupyter (preferably using the MS Visual Studio program; all freeware) will be used for data analysis. A short (but sufficient) introduction is included in the course.
