Why is design important?
s
Entire courses based just on design: only a brief overview
today.
s
Industrial experiments. Often each trial can be very
expensive: imagine modelling crash test data for Jaguar....
s
Clinical trials. To rule out unexpected selection bias, it is
important to sufciently randomize the study, perhaps
keeping some control over heterogeneity.
s
A topic of active research: eld has progressed well beyond
its origins in agricultural eld trials. Modern response surface
design problems are used frequently in industry.
s
Current examples: CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)
models take ages to run on a computer and one might want
to understand how the model depends on the parameters
input into it: try a few values of the parameters and
interpolate (i.e. run a regression).

What makes a good experiment?
s
Is the design subject to unforeseen (selection) bias?
s
Is it powerful enough to detect a given effect size?
s
Is the precision of a certain number of estimators sufcient?
i.e. if we assume we know
2
, can we get a tight enough
condence interval for
1
, say?
s
Multivariate generalizations: D-optimality, V -optimality.

To determine sample size for a given power 1 and Type I
error rate we would plot Power as a function of sample
size and take the smallest sample size that yields sufcient
power.

s
This design controls selection bias in the experiment: i.e. by
assigning tter people to treatment vs. control, looks like
treatment is more effective than it is.
s
Given r treatments, and nr subjects, assign subjects to
treatment are random.
s
Assumes implicitly that all subjects are identical no
controlling for variables such as gender, age, etc.

Reduces to a one-way ANOVA model for the treatment

Example: suppose we are studying the performance of
different schools on standardized tests based on the
performance of classes within the schools.
s
Each school 1 i a has b classes taking the tests, of
which each class had a different teacher.
s
It is natural to think of school effect and teacher effect, but
the teachers taught only within one school: they are nested
within schools. (Perhaps better to treat this as random ...)

factorial designs
s
Given k factors with 2 levels each there are 2
k
possible
combinations. Designs including all levels are called 2
k
factorial designs.
s
To estimate all of them (with replications) becomes quite
expensive.
s
Most of the degrees of freedom goes to estimating higher
order interactions (which may be less of interest).
s
A 2
kf
design is a design that drops some combinations in
the interest of cost, but introduces some confounding to the
model.
s
For instance if f = 1 then the experimenter only uses half of
the combinations. This means that it may be impossible to
separate some low order interactions effects with higher
order interactions (i.e. they will be confounded)
s
Which effects are confounded depends on the dening
relation of the fractional study. Good dening relations leave
as many low order interactions (including main effects)
estimable.
