1.Introduction to the design of experiments and data analysis.
2.Completely randomized one-factor experiment: introduction of a fixed-effect model, tests of equality of mean values, choice of number of observations.
3.Methods of multiple comparison: Bonferroni method, Scheffy method, Tukey method
4.Randomized complete block design: model definition, equality effects tests, power of test, determining sample size.
5.Latin and Greco-Latin squares, balanced incomplete block design, model adequacy checking, residuals, multiple comparisons.
6.Two factor factorial design: statistical models and their properties for designs 2^2, 2^3 and 2^k, fractional factorial design, resolutions.
7.3^k factorial designs, confounding in 3^k factorial design.
8.Models with random effects, factorials with mixed levels.
