Introduction to experimental design with JMP

[8 half days] - [starts on 16-01-2023 at 09:00] - [English] - [Louvain-la-Neuve]

Are you involved in process development and optimization? Do you want to know more about methodology for the design of experiments?

An experimental design describes "how" the different trials of a study should be carried out so that the study objective can be met with maximum precision and minimum "cost." The "how" represents the definition of the purpose and conditions of the experiment, the factors to be varied, the experimental units, the number and sequence of observations to be collected, the experimental set-up, etc.

Training aims

At the end of this course, the participant will know the principles of experimental design methodology and the steps for implementing the necessary tools. He/she will be able to formalize his/her experiment, write the desired model, and identify the appropriate design among the main classes of designs.  He/she will have been introduced to techniques for statistically analyzing results based on real case studies, and he/she will have implemented these techniques using JMP.

Prerequisites

By registering for this course, you commit to having a basic level of knowledge in statistics and experimental practice.

Content

• Benefits and steps of research based on experimental design
• Linear modeling for the analysis of experimental results: quantitative single-factor linear modeling, comparison of methods or treatments by analysis of variance, multi-factor linear modeling, simultaneous optimization of several responses
• Key elements of a successful experimental campaign: what should be defined beforehand, what strategy(ies) should be adopted, what qualities are expected for a good plan?
• Catalogue of experimental designs: factorial designs, designs for factor screening, designs for estimating response surfaces, optimal designs for unconventional problems, designs for mixtures, designs for estimating variance components, organization of homogeneous block tests, designs for non-linear models, etc.
