Many schools offer courses in this fundamental skill and this book is meant to offer an easily accessible introduction to the essential tools needed, including an understanding of logical processes, how to use measurement, the dos and donts of designing experiments so as to achieve reproducible results and the basic mathematical underpinnings of how data should be analyzed and interpreted. The subject is also taught as part of courses on Engineering statistics, Quality Control in Manufacturing, and Senior Design Project, in which conducting experimental research is usually integral to the project in question. * Covers such essential fundamentals as "definitions," "quantification," and standardization of test materials * Shows students and professionals alike how to plan an experimentfrom how to frame a proper Hypothesis to designing an experiment to accurately reflect the nature of the problem to "designing with factors." * Includes a separate section on the use of Statistics in Experimental Research, including overview of probability and statistics, as well as Randomization, Replication and Sampling, as well as proper ways to draw statistical inferences from experimental dataElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsResearchMethodologyScienceExperimentsMethodologyOriginal07506792639780750679268(DLC) 2006295217(OCoLC)62874153Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750679268An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationPublisher descriptionhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0629/2006295217-d.htmlTable of contentshttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0629/2006295217-t.html.b1365398203-03-2224-01-08991003241509707536Principles of experimental research1212741UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engne 4002032oas 2200565 450 991071394260332120201209142058.0(CKB)5470000002506237(OCoLC)992772611(OCoLC)1031634743(OCoLC)1031634744(EXLCZ)99547000000250623720170704b19991999 ua engurun||||a|a||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSchool enrollment in the United States, social and economic characteristics of students[Washington, D.C.] :U.S. Department of Commerce, Economics and Statistics Administration, U.S. Census Bureau,2001.1 online resouce (1 volume) color illustrationsCurrent population reports.
