01. Design and Analysis of Experiments

TL;DR: This paper provides the basis for a new comprehensive classification system for metaheuristics and presents a multi-level architecture and suitable criteria for the task of classifying meta heuristics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface roughness of NiTi channels is characterized using optical profilometry and SEM imaging, and it is concluded that channel orientation plays a prominent role in determining the surface rougheness of interior channels, and a lower laser energy density results in the highest reduction in surface roughs after an electropolishing treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, an innovative natural fibro-granular composite made of kenaf fibers and waste rice husk granules is developed and presented in the impedance tube method.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that Tukey's test of additivity is equivalent to the test of a regression coefficient in a model with a single covariate, and the derivation given is general for the standard experimental designs, such as complete and incomplete randomized blocks and Latin squares.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a detailed discussion of the calculation of sample sizes using the width of confidence intervals for pairwise comparisons, treatment-versus-control comparisons, trends, and difference of averages.

TL;DR: In this article, an alternate formula for computing the adjusted treatment sum of squares for Group Divisible Partially Balanced Incomplete Block Designs (GD-PBIB) was proposed.

TL;DR: The authors summarize information scattered in the technical literature on a subject too new to be included in most textbooks, but which is of interest to statisticians, and those who use statistics in science and education, at an advanced undergraduate or higher level.
