ISYE 6413: Design and Analysis of Experiments Fall, 2020: Jeffwu@isye - Gatech.edu

This document provides information about the ISYE 6413: Design and Analysis of Experiments course for Fall 2020. It outlines that the course will be taught fully remotely on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30-1:45pm. The instructor is Professor Jeff Wu and topics will cover experimental design techniques including single and multi-factor experiments, factorial designs, fractional factorial designs, and robust design methodology. Students are required to read lecture materials and watch accompanying video lectures before attending online class meetings for questions. Grading will be based on homework assignments and two take-home exams.

aberration for choosing optimal 2 n−k designs, choice of optimal blocking schemes

Required Text: “Experiments: Planning, Analysis and Optimization”, 2nd Edition


(by C. F. Jeff Wu and Mike Hamada), 2009, John Wiley.
All data sets in the book can be downloaded from my website
http://www.isye.gatech.edu/~jeffwu/isye6413/
Lecture notes in PPT format will be available on my site, also be available from Wiley’s
ftp site. These slides are a concise summary of the book materials for the given sections.
They make specific reference to the section or page number in the book. So you can learn
a lot more from reading both the slides and the book.
First class will be live to explain general information about the course and answer
questions. After that, see the delivery mode below.

Delivery Mode: This is a fully remote course. All lecture materials are available in ppt
slides. All slides are available on my homepage (and the video version on canvas). You
should read them at your own pace, sometimes you need to refer to the book for more
details. I will make videos to accompany the slides for each unit. Because each unit is
quite long, I will make two videos for each, called 1a, 1b, --, 8a and 8b etc. You can find
them under “media gallery” in canvas. I will send emails to the whole class regularly to
remind you by when you should read which video unit. Then I will hold online meetings
right after at the designated class times, which are M, Wed 12:30-1:45pm. I will NOT
repeat the lectures on live-stream during these times. You are supposed to have read the
video unit I assigned previously. In the “class”, I will quickly go thru the slides you have
read, take you questions and give my reply and further explanation. Each class meeting is
recorded and available in “bluejeans” so that you can review them afterward or if you
cannot attend it. It usually starts at 12:40 and can last for 30-60 minutes, depending on
how many questions you have. You will get bluejeans meeting notice, then you click the
link to join the meeting.

Grading Policy: Eight homework sets (70%), two take-home exams (15% each).
Duration for each take-home is 2 days.

Many real data and experiments are included in the textbook and will be covered in the
course.
