Weekly instructor-led online session will be on Wednesdays at 1:00 pm Central Time (US). These will be recorded in case a student is not able to attend.
Attendees should complete weekly assignments PRIOR to the webinar.
Knowledge of basic statistics (mean and standard deviation), and exposure to simple comparative experiments (e.g. two-sample t-test) are recommended. To refresh these skills and review basic concepts and terminology, we require completion of the online PreDOE: Basic Statistics for Experimenters course during Week 1 of this Distance Learning course. It takes 2-3 hours to complete. You can work at your own pace. Access the PreDOE here.
If you are not familiar with Design-Expert software, then please download a trial of Design-Expert software (if you do not already have access to it) and work through the first tutorial: One Factor - Bowling, found in the Help system.
Please order a copy of the DOE Simplified textbook from your preferred book vendor. Ebook editions and rentals are available.
