Histogram Many of the current statistical approaches to designed experiments originate from the work of R. A. Fisher
Scatter Diagram in the early part of the 20th century. Fisher demonstrated how taking the time to seriously consider the
design and execution of an experiment before trying it helped avoid frequently encountered problems in Password:
Stratification
analysis. Key concepts in creating a designed experiment include blocking, randomization and replication.
Survey
A well–performed experiment may provide answers to questions such as:

What settings would bring about less variation in the output?
A repetitive approach to gaining knowledge is encouraged, typically involving these consecutive steps:
Featured advertisers
1. A screening design which narrows the field of variables under assessment.
2. A “full factorial” design which studies the response of every combination of factors and factor
levels, and an attempt to zone in on a region of values where the process is close to
optimization.
3. A response surface design to model the response.
Blocking: When randomizing a factor is impossible or too costly, blocking lets you restrict randomization by
carrying out all of the trials with one setting of the factor and then all the trials with the other setting.
Randomization: Refers to t he order in which the trials of an experiment are performed. A randomized
sequence helps eliminate effects of unknown or uncontrolled variables.
