Abstract:
An expert system for the design and analysis of experiments includes a descriptive mathematical model of the experiment under consideration. From this mathematical model, expected mean squares are computed, tests are determined, and the power of the tests computed. This supplies the information needed to compare different designs and choose the best possible design. A layout sheet is then generated to aid in the collection of data. Once the data has been collected and entered, the system analyzes and interprets the results.
