Title: Are the Paradigms for Design of Experiments Changing?
Author(s): Bradley A. Jones*+

Address: 106 Homestead Dr., Cary, NC, 27513,
Keywords: DOE ; optimal design ; tailored design
Abstract:

Early designed experiments in agriculture required a statistician to create a design and analyze the data. As DOE has transcended its roots in agriculture, the lack of statisticians relative to the number of potential applications of DOE makes professional statistical involvement in every experimental study infeasible. One way of dealing with this scarcity is to use tabled sample plans that are available in textbooks on designed experiments. These plans typically have very desirable statistical properties and have a fairly wide range of applicability. This "one size fits all" approach to design choice is quite popular. Recently, a viable alternative has arisen due to a huge increase in the power of computers and their accompanying software. A computer-aided approach to DOE offers the possibility of a tailored approach to design as opposed the to the "one size fits all" approach.
