Empirical Model-Building and Response Surfaces

Empirical Model-Building and Response Surfaces

In general, response surface methods are appropriate once the noise is small and the response is to be optimized. This book covers everything you would want to know on the subject. This book expands on two chapters (15 & 16) in Box, Hunter and Hunter (Statistics for Experimenters). To read this book requires prior knowledge of fundamental design of experiments (DoE) topics; fractionation, aliasing, interactions, etc. Further there is considerable math. review by Cooper
