Probability Theory Review
05 May 2008 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Carl Wassgren, Avik Sarkar
For any real system or phenomenon, there will be a certain amount of variability associated with data generated by the system.Probability is the language used to characterize and interpret the variability of this data.Probability is the most widely used formalism for quantifying uncertainty.

Single Factor Experiments
05 May 2008 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Carl Wassgren, Avik Sarkar
The purpose of single factor experiments is to:Quantify relationship between a single factor and a single measured or response variableCompare the relative effectiveness of two or more treatments (levels of the factor).Estimate the level of the factor that optimizes the response variable
