RSM Simplified: Optimizing Processes Using Response Surface Methods for Design of Experiments, 2nd Edition

RSM Simplified completely demystifies response surface methods (RSM)—a practical tool for design of experiments. Anyone with minimum technical training can understand and appreciate this book. The authors' simple-and-fun approach is for those who desire knowledge on response surface methods, but dislike the academic nature of other books on the topic. Now in the second edition!

Note: Examples in the book use Design-Expert® software. You may request the 30-day trial here.

Features

What’s new in this edition:

• A major revision of the software that accompanies this book (via download from the Internet) sets the stage for introducing RSM designs where the randomization of one or more hard-to-change (HTC) factors can be restricted.
• A new chapter titled "Practical Aspects for RSM Success," which details workaround to using power to "right-size" designs that makes use of a tool called "fraction of design space" (FDS).
• Methods to confirm your RSM models that will verify a successful process-optimization experiment.

Summary

Anderson and Whitcomb pick up where they left off in DOE Simplified with RSM Simplified -- a practical tool for design of experiments that anyone with a minimum of technical training can understand and appreciate. Their approach is simple and fun for those who desire knowledge on response surface methods but are put off by the academic nature of other books on the topic.

RSM Simplified keeps formulas to a minimum and makes liberal use of figures, charts, graphs, and checklists. It offers many relevant examples with amusing sidebars and do-it-yourself exercises that will lead readers to the peak potential for their product quality and process efficiency.

"Recently, I bought your DOE and RSM Simplified books. I congratulate you on the quality. These books are really nice and encourage the reader to keep reading!"
—Marcelo Kaminski Lenzi, Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Federal University of Paraná, Brazil
