Rsm Simplified: Optimizing Processes Using Response Surface Methods for Design of Experiments, Second Edition - Paperback

by Mark J. Anderson (Author), Patrick J. Whitcomb (Author)

This book continues where DOE Simplified leaves off in Chapter 8 with an introduction to "Response Surface Methods [RSM] for Optimization." It presents this advanced tool for design of experiments (DOE) in a way that anyone with a minimum of technical training can understand and appreciate. Unlike any other book of its kind, RSM Simplified keeps formulas to a minimum--making liberal use of figures, charts, graphs and checklists. It also offers many relevant examples, amusing and fun do-it-yourself exercises.
