Response Surfaces: Designs and Analyses

Introduction to response surface methodology matrix algebra, least squares, the analysis of variance, and principles of experimental design first-order models and designs second-order models and designs determining optimum conditions methods of estimating response surfaces that rival least squares based on the integrated mean squared error criterion analysis of multiresponse experiments response surface models with block effects mixture designs and analyses nonlinear response surface models Taguchi's robust parameter design additional topics and some directions for future research. Appendix: solutions to selected exercises.
