Title: George Box and Design of Experiments: Statistics and Discovery
Author(s): David Steinberg*+
Companies: Tel Aviv University
Keywords: RSM ; factorial design ; central composite design
Abstract:

George Box was fascinated with how we make discoveries. Much of his scientific work involved making statistics an active partner in the process of discovery. His path breaking contributions to experimental design grew from intimate collaborations with scientists and engineers. They have been applied successfully in a wide range of disciplines. He introduced us to RSM, resolution and rotatability, projective properties and design robustness. He developed popular experimental plans like the central composite and Box-Behnken designs. He explored the consequences of imperfect models and derived D-optimal designs for experiments to estimate mechanistic models. He has left an indelible stamp on the field.
