    In this course we will study how to intentionally design experiments in order to measure variables of interest, to tell which experiment treatments show themselves to be the most significant, to determine which treatments appear to have little or no effect, and which treatment combinations are best for further study. These skills are in high demand in the industrial setting where the statistician has the luxury to intentionally modify treatment combinations in an experiment, as opposed to the regression analysis scenario where the statistician has no control over what is being observed. Prerequisite: MAT420. Three hours.
