There are two texts for this course:
1. Lecture Notes for Probability and Statistics (textbook draft) by
A Barnett.
2. Statistical Methods for Engineers by G. Vining (SME)
There also will be materials on the statistical analysis package, JMP.

Boxplots. Comparing two independent samples. Examples of t-tests and confidence intervals for comparisons. Checking assumptions using normal probability plots. | SME 1 (Background material for my introductory lecture). SME 2.3, 117-120, 3.7, 4.5. | 3.54 (omit part d), 4.30, 4.32. (You should try one or all of these in JMP in order to get familiar with this program and let us know if there are any problems using the system.) |

Pairing and blocking as good experimental design; comparing two paired samples. Why does blocking work? Variances and the chi-squared distribution; confidence intervals for the variance; ratio of variances; p-values./ Tutorial | SME 131-132, 4.6-4.10. | 4.36, 4.37, 4.43. Find the p-values in problems 4.36 and 4.37. |

|
Regression with more than one explanatory variable. R2, F-test, residual analysis, checking assumptions, diagnostics. | SME 6.3-6.5. Some of this material has been covered in the first half of the course. Linear algebra is not required for this course, but matrix notation is very useful for regression and will help with experimental design. If you have never heard of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, don't worry about them. | 6.13, 6.21, 6.27 (all on the same data set). The Hydrox Case |

|
Tutorial/ Overview of designed experiments.22 factorial designs. Introduce the helicopter design case. | SME 7.1-7.2. | 7.3, 7.4 |
|
|
Overview of designed experiments . 2^2 factorial designs. Interactions.
Analysis of means.

|
|
Comparing more than two independent samples (one-way ANOVA).Determining measurement repeatability and reproducibility as an example of two-way ANOVA using random effects. | Notes | Measurement phase of Hydrox(A) and do Hydrox (B) to see how it turned out |
