Reddit reviews Design and Analysis of Experiments

I’m a stats major and took a course on design and analysis of experiments. The book you’re looking for is here.

Hi! I'm a statistician and love this stuff - here is my favorite book on the topic (he has lots of additions, so might not need the latest)

http://www.amazon.com/Design-Analysis-Experiments-Douglas-Montgomery/dp/1118146921/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382232837&sr=8-1&keywords=montgomery+experimental+design

If you have questions on hypothesis testing or stats in general, drop me a line.

DoE is used pretty widely in manufacturing, so no surprise why they want you to know it.

What you did is kind of what DoE is at its most basic form. There are essentially different kinds of experiments that are designed to be more economical (reducing number of experiment runs, working around external factors, etc.) given a certain number and type of factor you want to test the effects of on your manufacturing process. Really the most important part of DoE is picking the correct type of design - the data analysis follows naturally based on the type of experiment. I'd wager that having experience with JMP (most common) or DesignExpert DoE software would be very useful.

This looks like a pretty good reference, but if you do get the job and need some real DoE resources, Doug Montgomery's book is pretty much the best one out there (one of the leading experts on DoE, and I took this class with him at ASU).

Y'all need some knowledge in experimental design

I like this book: Design and analysis of experiments

Montgomery is the standard text for statistical experimental design. (I have the 7th ed and it is a pretty good book.)

I would suggest the same suggestions to Machine Learning already suggested.

Intro to Stat Learning is the Undergrad / MS Level book

Elements of Stat Learning the the Late MS Level / PhD book.

This is the best regarded textbook on the subject: https://www.amazon.com/Design-Analysis-Experiments-Douglas-Montgomery/dp/1118146921/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468354135&sr=8-1&keywords=design+of+experiments

You can make do with an older version/ebook, of course.

And of course, you're welcome!
