Creascience will be offering its popular 3-day Fundamentals of Design of Experiments (DOE). This session will take place from October 22 to 24 at the AMA Management Centre located in the San Francisco Marriott Hotel. It consists of two independent workshops that can either be attended separately or as a whole.

The first one-day workshop, Fundamental Tools in Statistics covers the fundamental principles and concepts in statistics as well as classical and more recent exploratory data analysis (EDA) techniques to describe data with numerical and graphical tools. The various uses of these methods like outlier detection are presented. With the help of real-life examples the principles underlying statistical testing and decision-making in the presence of uncertainty. It covers risks involved (alpha and beta), p-values and statistical significance. The use and interpretation of confidence intervals are also discussed.
This course can serve as an introductory class or a refresher and provides a solid basis for all other courses. Get more info and register.

The second two-day hands-on workshop, Introduction to DOE, presents classical techniques to design efficient experiments and tools to analyze the collected data. The principles of sample size calculations, strategies to remove and contrundesirable sources of variability like the use of blocks and controls, as well as the most commonly used experimental designs are discussed. The statistical analysis of designed experiments is progressively introduced, starting with the t-test method used to compare two groups. Then, the analysis of variance technique (ANOVA) is extensively covered from simple one-factor experiments to more advanced multi-factor situations where the interaction between factors needs to be considered. Multiple comparisons techniques used to locate differences are also presented. Get more info and to register.
