Abstract: Choosing the appropriate experimental design is critical to the application of design of experiments (DoE), as an inappropriate experimental design is sure to compromise experiment results. Although picking the right experimental design may seem an easy task for an expert in DoE, this activity is complicated for novice users. Therefore, we have highlighted key points and presented guidelines to help practitioners select appropriate experimental designs. Three case studies illustrate the application of these key points in the selection of an experimental design.

Keywords: case studies; design of experiments; DoE; experimental matrix; factorial designs; key points; planning experiments; practitioners guidelines; statistical tools; design types; experimental design. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
