CX4003 Design and Analysis of Experiments Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• To learn about the statistical tools and design principles of experiments
• To learn about the usage of single factor testing methods
• To learn and apply the Factorial design techniques
• To know various special experimental design techniques
• To learn about various Taguchi’s Techniques

UNIT I CONCEPTS AND TERMINOLOGY

Review of hypothesis testing – P Value, ―t‖Vs paired―t‖ test, simple comparative experiment, planning of experiment – steps, Terminology – factors, levels, variables, Design principles – replication, randomization, blocking, confounding, Analysis of variance, sum of squares, degrees of freedom.

UNIT II SINGLE FACTOR EXPERIMENTS

Completely randomized design, Randomized block design, effect of coding the observations, Latin Square design, orthogonal contrasts, comparison of treatment means – Duncan‘s multiple range test, Newman-Keuel’s test, Fisher‘s LSD test, Tukey’s test.

UNIT III FACTORIAL EXPERIMENTS

Main and interaction effects, Rules for sum of squares and expected mean square, two and three factor full factorial design, 2k designs with two and three factors, Yate’s algorithm, practical applications

UNIT IV SPECIAL EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS

Blocking and confounding in 2k design, nested design, split – plot design, two level fractional factorial design, fitting regression models, introduction to response surface methods- Central composite design.

UNIT V TAGUCHI TECHNIQUES

Introduction, Orthogonal designs, data analysis using ANOVA and response graph, parameter design – noise factors, objective functions (S/N ratios), multi-level factor OA designs, applications

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
