Design of Experiment

FSI-9PLE Acad. year: 2025/2026 Summer semester

Introduction. Strategy for experimental design. Interaction. Two-dimensional models. Orthogonal design. Rotatable design. Central composite design. Mixture design

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Prerequisites

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Exam will consist of a presentation of student's own usage of design of experiment (DoE) preferably in a field of student's own research/interest.
Lecture optional

Language of instruction

Czech

Aims

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic procedures used in effective experimentation and corresponding statistical analysis. The task of the course is to show that it is not enough to do it some experiment, but it is most necessary to look at the results after analysing the resulting model.
Student will be able to plan and statistically evaluate scientific experiment.
