About This Book

This book covers thoroughly the explanations of the concepts and basic terms in almost all the known experimental designs; the mathematics underlying these; how to select the appropriate designs for a study and a logical sequence of analyzing these designs. For each of these designs, hypothetical examples of experiments have been provided with stepwise approaches towards analyzing them. It treats complex designs in a simplified way to enhance the understanding of its readership. The designs are arranged in a systematic order of least difficulty understanding to more difficult understanding.

Researchers, academics and students are always engage in one form of research or the other that requires designing. However be it as it may, most of these individuals are not conversant with in selecting the appropriate experimental designs that should best suit their respective researches or studies.
