10th SCHOOL OF BIOMETRICS

SCHOOL OF BIOMETRICS Topic

Modern Experimental Designs: Construction and Analysis

SCHOOL OF BIOMETRICS Invited Speaker
Emlyn Williams
CSIRO Forestry and Forest Products, Canberra, Australia

This lecture will cover the design and analysis of a number of design types used in practice for field, glasshouse, micro array and clinical trials ranging from simple randomized complete block, factorial and split-plot designs through to different forms of incomplete block, row-column, spatial and crossover designs. The design generation packages CycDesigN http://www.ffp.csiro.au/software and CrossOver http://www.stats.waikato.ac.nz/software.html will be discussed.
Analyses of design types will be presented using examples and will involve analysis of variance and mixed-model analysis. Testing and interpretation of results will be discussed. The book “Experimental Design and Analysis for Tree Improvement” by E.R. Williams, A.C. Matheson and C.E. Harwood http://www.publish.csiro.au/books/bookpage.cfm?PID=3145 provides some background material for the early part of the lecture.
