DoE: Practical methods to discover and interpret relationships between factors

Experiments play an important role in understanding and controlling systems and processes. With the aid of methods for statistical design of experiments, it is immediately possible to set up these experiments efficiently and to analyze and interpret their results.

It is important to formulate a clear problem description, identify important influencing factors and choose the right experimental techniques. It is equally important to determine how many experimental runs are needed and which factor combinations should be measured.

Principles of experimental design are successfully applied in a wide variety of areas, but especially in industry, where experiments are becoming increasingly important to analyze and to improve processes. Furthermore, the use of DoE techniques can offer significant advantages in the successful development of digital twins for industrial applications.

Statistical techniques for experimental design and data analysis

This DoE-course:

  • Provides knowledge and skills in the application of statistical techniques for experimental designs.
  • Gives you experience in analyzing the data obtained.
  • Teaches you to apply the methods discussed independently in your own work environment.
  • Teaches you to use relevant statistical software such as R in a responsible way.
  • Demonstrates and discusses possibilities and dangers of using generative AI, such as ChatGPT and Copilot, in the design and analysis of experiments.

Intended for

Process, product or quality engineers and other technicians and scientists involved in the development and optimization of processes and products. The course is also suitable for lecturers from universities and colleges of higher education who want to learn more about design of experiments and data analysis.

Knowledge of basic statistical techniques such as testing, estimation and regression modelling is desirable.
Some experience in the use of (elementary) linear algebra and statistical software is desirable.
Practical examples are in R.

The techniques demonstrated with R, can also be performed in Python and yield comparable results. Participants receive sample data files so that they can reproduce the results using their preferred data analysis software. It is possible to use R from Python and Python from R and combine the advantages of each. Do you want to use Python or discover more possibilities of Python? View our course Python for engineers.

Would you like to have more background information or read about experiences of data analysis course participants? Read our interviews:
- Interview with Guido Batema (Paramelt). He followed the incompany course Design and Analysis of Experiments with eight collegues.
- Interview with Bart Groenland (E-magy), whose team now uses experiments more effectively because of an incompany training.
Course leader dr. Koo Rijpkema (University of Technology Eindhoven) shares his vision on the world of data and courses and the importance of the discipline.
