    About the Course

    We are always using experiments to improve our lives, our community, and our work. Are you doing it efficiently? Or are you (incorrectly)
    changing one thing at a time and hoping for the best? In this course, you will learn how to plan efficient experiments - testing with many
    variables. Our goal is to find the best results using only a few experiments. A key part of the course is how to optimize a system. We use simple
    tools: starting with fast calculations by hand, then we show how to use FREE software. The course comes with slides, transcripts of all lectures,
    subtitles (English, Spanish and Portuguese; some Chinese and French), videos, audio files, source code, and a free textbook. ...

    It is an interesting course in the context of DOE. Topics are well-developed and the concepts behinds each design from full factorials to fractioned and RSM are well explained. I recommend it.

    Takes you by the hand, even if you have little or no background to the course elements, in order for you to learn what may have otherwise been a fairly challenging topic. Certainly recommended!
