DOE Simplified by Mark J. Anderson and Pat J. Whitcomb

"DOE Simplified: Practical Tools for Effective Experimentation, 2nd Edition"
by Mark J. Anderson & Patrick J. Whitcomb


Design of Experiments (DOE) is a planned approach for determining cause and effect relationships that can be applied to any process with measurable inputs and outputs.  DOE provides a statistical means for analyzing how numerous variables interact.

In "DOE Simplified"—a comprehensive introductory text geared towards readers with minimal statistical background—the authors take a fresh and lively approach to learning the fundamentals. The book covers:

  • Basic statistics for DOE
  • Methods for collecting and displaying data
  • How to draw inferences from data
  • The purpose of confidence intervals
  • Comparative experiments for testing hypotheses
  • Blocking sources of variation from analysis
  • Two-level factorial designs
  • Fractional factorials
  • Minimum-run designs
  • Analysis of variance.
Also included is a free 180-day trial version of Design-Ease® DOE software.

Read "Success with DOE," an excerpt from the first edition of the book published in the April 2000 issue of Quality magazine, by ordering Reprint #50.

“Mark and Pat have done it again! They have somehow managed to make statistics both interesting and understandable to an encompassing audience. ”
