Hi Colleagues,

Does anybody know of a university that teaches an online graduate level Design of Experiments course or offers a graduate certificate in Experimental Design?  If not, does anybody know a good Master's level DoE textbook that I can refer to my client?

Thanks in Advance,
Ray

PS - The client is an Assistant Professor in Chemical Education.  Her recent paper was rejected citing methodology issues primarily.  I wanted to give her a reference that she can use for future work.  (After reviewing her rejected manuscript, I think there are too many design errors to salvage and resubmit.)

Sounds like the student has a short-term and a more extensive need, to make sure that she grows from the experience.  Taking a course would provide her with a deeper understanding of these topics AND how they interrelate. George Washington University in the Washington DC area has such courses, and no doubt other universities.  Having a solid book to refer to would be valuable. I've used the Cook and Campbell book, and in fact worked with both of those authors, they were very insightful in spotting things to shore up. (They consulted to our firm years ago on a longitudinal program evaluation study.)  

A short-term approach would be to find a patient tutor who is well-versed in these issues AND works with her intensively to have her grasp how certain issues need to be resolved (AND certainly does not do the work for her)!

I agree. She seems to have a more immediate need. I recommend she use Montgomery's DOE book for reviewing the methodology but also get Box, Hunter, and Hunter and use the chemical-based examples from it. Also she should get the academic version of either Minitab or SAS/JMP to do the examples in. Perhaps her university already has the software for use. This may seem like a lot, but she'll need this for future reference in any case.

Milliken and Johnson, referenced in an earlier post will help in learning the treatment structure and sampling design design structure combination.

Kansas State University has an online Experimental Design Class or did a couple of years ago.

Ray,

Penn State has a stats certificate program with a strong DoE component. The book we used for my ANOVA and DoE class (STAT 502) was Kuehl's "Design of Experiments: Statistical Principles of Research Design and Analysis" (Duxbury press, ISBN: 978-0-534-36834-0). They also have STAT 503 which is a more advanced DoE course. I believe they allow people to take single courses for credit or apply to their certificate and master's degree programs.

Thanks,

Dan

Ray is correct.  You can take single online courses, for instance, Design of Experiments (STAT 503 - which uses the Montgomery text), or you can get a Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics (4 courses)  or a complete Masters of Applied Statistics - all online. Right now STAT 502 - Analysis of Variance and Design of Experiments is moving to the second half of Applied Linear Statistical Models, by Neter, Kutner and others.  Many of the courses have prerequisites.

More information about these courses and programs can be found at:  https://onlinecourses.science.psu.edu/statprogram/
