Covers experiment planning, execution, analysis, and reporting

This single-source resource guides readers in planning and conducting credible experiments for engineering, science, industrial processes, agriculture, and business. The text takes experimenters all the way through conducting a high-impact experiment, from initial conception, through execution of the experiment, to a defensible final report. It prepares the reader to anticipate the choices faced during each stage.

Filled with real-world examples from engineering science and industry, Planning and Executing Credible Experiments: A Guidebook for Engineering, Science, Industrial Processes, Agriculture, and Business offers chapters that challenge experimenters at each stage of planning and execution and emphasizes uncertainty analysis as a design tool in addition to its role for reporting results. Tested over decades at Stanford University and internationally, the text employs two powerful, free, open-source software tools: GOSSET to optimize experiment design, and R for statistical computing and graphics. A website accompanies the text, providing additional resources and software downloads.
_ A comprehensive guide to experiment planning, execution, and analysis
_ Leads from initial conception, through the experiment's launch, to final report
_ Prepares the reader to anticipate the choices faced throughout an experiment
_ Hones the motivating question
_ Employs principles and techniques from Design of Experiments (DoE)
_ Selects experiment designs to obtain the most information from fewer experimental runs
_ Offers chapters that propose questions that an experimenter will need to ask and answer during each stage of planning and execution
_ Demonstrates how uncertainty analysis guides and strengthens each stage
_ Includes examples from real-life industrial experiments
_ Accompanied by a website hosting open-source software

Planning and ExecutingCredible Experiments is an excellent resource for graduates and senior undergraduates--as well as professionals--across a wide variety of engineering disciplines.

Planning and Executing Credible Experiments is a comprehensive presentation of what needs to be done in the development, execution, and interpretation of experiments. It includes a detailed discussion of uncertainty quantification that often is overlooked in presentation of experimental data. It is an essential reference for anyone who uses experiments for answering key questions and making data-based decisions in engineering, science, medicine and business.--Professor C.T. Bowman, Mechanical Engineering Department, Stanford University

Planning and Executing Credible Experiments is a must read for any engineer who either is a test engineer or supervises a test engineer. I believe nothing of substance relative to experiments has

been left out of this text. I'm giving a copy to my nephew who is an undergrad engineer, I can't think of a better gift...it keeps on giving. It's a great reference.--James Callas, Test Chief at Caterpillar, P.E. (semi-retired)

Finally available, the long-awaited book Planning and Executing Credible Experiments written by Moffat & Henk! I have eagerly anticipated this book being published. While this statement may seem enthusiastic, I assure you that we who had the privilege of attending Professor Moffat's classes at Stanford University will understand this feeling of mine. His graduate courses in experimental methods in thermosciences were worth our intense effort. He packed his classes with weighty content: each thought, each reflection. After each class, the same litany among us students ... "were you able to record everything? ... Can we share our notes?" We dreamed of having this book to accompany the lessons of the great master!

In my opinion, "Planning and Executing Credible Experiments" is the bible of the experimentalist. A complete book. By conceptualizing the credibility of the experiment and the systemic view of experimental work, it lifts the responsibility of the experimentalist, enabling him, in a critical way, to validate his experiments. The book discusses strategies and tactics of the experimental work, differentiating it from theoretical analysis. With the authority of one of the respected founders advancing the analysis of measurement uncertainty, this book is dense with concepts, practical examples, and statistical tools. This book demonstrates with clarity and propriety "what does uncertainty analysis tell the experimentalist?"

Having this book in hand empowers experimentalists in every department at my university.

To every university in other countries: I highly recommend this book to improve the impact and credibility of their research, science, and engineering schools. Just as it benefits Stanford-trained researchers.

Any manufacturer, business and industry aiming to improve its operations will find the strategies in this book invaluable because its tools boost the Deming cycle.

In Sum: Planning and Executing Credible Experiments guides experimentalists to perform experiments with results they can justify and defend.--Prof. M. N. Frota, Pontifical University of Rio de Janeiro / BRAZIL
