Replicated
Runs and Repeated Runs
In the context of Design of Experiments (DOE),
replicated runs and repeated runs are both multiple response
readings taken at the same factor levels. This article explains
the difference between the two and illustrates how ReliaSoft's
DOE++
software can be used to deal with the two cases.To read

Analysis of Variance
Analysis of variance, or ANOVA, is a powerful statistical
technique that involves partitioning the observed variance into
different components to conduct various significance tests. This
article discusses the application of ANOVA to a data set that
contains one independent variable and explains how ANOVA can be
used to examine whether a linear relationship exists between a
dependent variable and an independent variable.

DOE Reference Guide Online - At ReliaSoft, we
have always been firm believers in sharing detailed
reference material to help users understand the
underlying statistical theory and appropriate
applications for available software tools. Therefore, we
have recently posted the entire reference guide that
ships with our
DOE++ software,
for the benefit of anyone who wishes to use it. If you
are new to Design of Experiments, this 433-page free
resource
could prove to be a helpful starting point. Those who
already have extensive experience with DOE may enjoy
reading the section about "Reliability
DOE," which describes new capabilities for the
proper analysis treatment of interval and right-censored
data.
