Several people asked that I post my findings of recommended experiment design texts. I have started to write a little technical report to be entitled: %A E. N. Miya %T Experiment Design for Computer Science: A Primer This will take a bit of time before release because I'm busy doing other research, but here is the list: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From my orginal list: %A Homer H. Johnson %A Robert L. Solso %T An Introduction to Experimental Design in Psychology: A Case Approach %I Harper and Row Publishers %C New York, NY %D 1971 %A William G. Cochran %A Gertrude M. Cox %T Experimental Designs %I John Wiley and Sons %D 1950 %A Donald T. Campbell %A Julian C. Stanley %T Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs for Research %I Rand McNally %D 1963 %C Chicago Message-Id: <8501272132.AA09840@decvax.UUCP> %A B. J. Winer %T Statistical Principles in Experimental Design %I Mcgraw-Hill %D 1962 Russ Herman {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!aesat!rwh Message-Id: <475702921-13430-lmiller@UCLA-LOCUS.ARPA> %A B.J. Winer %T Statistical Principles in Experimental Design %I McGraw Hill %C New York %D 1971 %A Fred N. Kerlinger %A Elazar J. Pedhazur %T Multiple Regression in Behavioral Research %I Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc. %C New York %D 1973 Message-Id: <8501290041.AA04585@seismo.ARPA> %A G. E. P. Box %A Wm. G. Hunter %A J. Stuart Hunter %T Statistics for Experimenters %I Wiley %C New York %D 1978 also recommend Kempthorne's classic text from 1952 _The design & analysis of expts_ Krieger Publishing, Malabar, Florida From sille Thu Jan 31 22:27:54 1985 To: beau eugene Subject: Experiment Design Texts Hays's Statistics is a wordy but useful text for the development of experiments. Winer is a good cookbook for all kinds of statistical tests. Message-Id: <8501302216.AA25546@mcvax.UUCP> You could have a look at "Planning of Experiments" by D.R. Cox (no relation to Gertrude, as far as I know). My copy was published by Wiley -- the copyright date is 1958, but it was certainly still being printed around 1979 when I got mine. This one is targeted towards "the experimental worker" according to the preface. (Was this one on your list?) How about "Experimental Designs" by W.G. Cochran and G.M. Cox. It's another Wiley offering -- mine (the second edition) is copyright 1957, but again was available around 1979 (yes, you're right, I was doing an M.Sc. at the time!). In case it helps, by the way, the Library of Congress Catalog (ugh!) Card Numbers are 58-13457 for the former and 57-5908 for the latter.
