Yes,

You can try one that is becoming a classic in this subject:

"Design and Analysis of Experiments. Douglas C. MontGomery. 5th Edition.
John Wiley and Sons". Although professor Douglas prefers Minitab and
Design-Expert to illustrate his examples.

And if you are interested in getting more examples based in S, you can
download the S-Plus statistics manuals (S-Plus Guide to Statistics - Part I.
It is a very large pdf file) which have one entire chapter dedicated to this
issue (Designed Experiments and Analysis of Variance - Chapter 15), at least
covers the most typical kind of experimental designs. Note that some of the
functions are not implemented in R yet. The URL where you can find these
manuals is as follows: http://www.insightful.com/resources/doc/unixdoc.html.

Hope that this helps.

Carlos Ortega.

Asunto: [R] textbook on experimental design?


I'll be teaching a graduate course on (the analysis of) experimental
designs next year, using R. Does anyone know of a suitable textbook?

(Venables and Ripley MASS Ch6 on Linear Models covers roughly the right
material, but at a level that is way too difficult for my students.)

Sorry if this has been asked before. I've looked through the archives and
found Julian Faraway's book, but that's mainly regresion.

Thanks,
	Ted.

Hola!

Might be thta Montgomery's is becoming a classic, but 
to actually learn design of experiments for the first time from that
book seems rather difficult to me. Better to go with an 
other classic, Bkox, Hunter & Hunter "Statistics for experimenters"
(which exist in a spanish translation, if anyone interested)

Also, in this context one should probably mention Cochran & Cox:
Experimental Designs. Probably mostly as supplemental reading, it is
not much of a textbook, and it has the weakness that it doesn't have
anything about random effects. However, it is a classic (and the
slightly old-fashioned style can be quite charming for students), and
some may remember that good ol' Genstat came with a full set of worked
examples from that book to show how the model formulas would work out.

Many thanks to all who have replied so far.

Yes, Cochran & Cox is an old favourite of mine. I've also got, on my top
shelf, an old Genstat manual . . . maybe it's time I dusted it off.

It's surprising how old most of the books are that people are referring
to. The availability of great software like R means that the whole
emphasis of an experimental design course needs to change, I feel.
An elementary version of Chapter 6 of VR, expanded from 70 pages to 300 or
so, would be just the trick. Maybe Bill Venables should put it on his
to-do list . . .

Cheers,
	Ted.
