Ethics committees and funding agencies often receive protocols that involve either too many or too few animals to answer the specific research question being investigated. It is evident that a greater ...

Gene expression microarray experiments are intrinsically two-phase experiments. Messenger RNA (mRNA), required for the microarray experiment, must first be derived from plants or animals that are ...

Sound experimental design is of vital importance when conducting any scientific experiment. Choices made at the design stage have the potential to drastically impact the results of any study. A strong ...

Design of Experiments (DOE) are a powerful concept in semiconductor engineering research and development. DOEs are sets of experiments used to explore the sensitivity of experimental variables and ...

Bayesian experimental design is a tool for guiding experiments founded on the principle of expected information gain. I.e., which experiment design will inform the most about the model can be ...

Data collection is sometimes performed without considering the effect poorly collected data has in the strength of statistical conclusions. When researchers properly design an experiment, they are ...
