Chapter 5: Producing Data Section 1: Designing Samples Section 2: Designing Experiments Section 3: Simulating Experiments
Basic Terms • Observational Studies • Experiments – where treatments are imposed • Subjects / Experimental units • Placebo
3 Principles of Experimental Design 1. Control the lurking variables. 2. Randomly assign treatments to the experimental units. 3. Replicate each treatment on many units to reduce chance variation in the results.
Experimental Design • Factors • Levels • Treatments
Statistically significant – an observed effect that is too large to be reasonably attributed to chance • Blind and double-blind experiments • “Lack of realism”
Types of designs • Completely randomized experiment • Matched pairs design • Block design
