At once a comprehensive handbook for the active researcher and a thorough introduction for the advanced student, this reference provides:
* Coverage of wide range of applications, including agricultural sciences, animal and biomedi-cal sciences, and industrial and engineering studies
* Information on new developments in the design of fractional factorials with non-prime numbers of levels in mixed-level fractional factorials
* Detailed information on the construction of plans and the relationships among categories of designs
* Thorough discussion of balanced, partially balanced, lattice, cyclic and alpha-designs
* Accommodations for how to evaluate the power and efficiency of designs that are not perfectly balanced
* Unified and simplified presentation of general forms for estimation and hypothesis testing
