Lesson 7, 'Controlling variability,' is a logical follow-up to sample-size determination, presenting strategies for reducing variability among experimental units to reduce the necessary sample size.

In research, the results of studies must be precise and reproducible. Behavioral scientists have been able to demonstrate that a new experimental design can improve the reproducibility and ...

Consider, for example, what we might have concluded about the toxicity of chocolate or garlic by studying their effects on dogs – Italian cuisine and the checkout line at most drug stores would be far ...

Basic Principles of Experimental Design Course Topics Sound experimental design is of vital importance when conducting any scientific experiment. Choices made at the design stage have the potential to ...

Optimizing Gene Editing Experimental Design In this webinar, Jacob Lamberth will discuss the critical variables and strategies for revolutionizing gene editing experiments.

This paper reviews the literature on Bayesian experimental design. A unified view of this topic is presented, based on a decision-theoretic approach. This framework casts criteria from the Bayesian ...

This paper explores the analogical nature of archaeological inference and the relationship between experimental design and inference validity in stone artifact experimentation. We show that ...
