Content
Objective : Acquire know-how in evaluating the design of an experience.
Reference book : Experimental Design for the Life Sciences, Fourth Edition, Graeme D. Ruxton and Nick Colegrave.
Table of contents of the reference book :
1: Why you should care about design?
2: Starting with a well-defined hypothesis
3: Selecting the broad design of your study
4: Between-individual variation, replication, and sampling
5: Pseudoreplication
6: Sample size, power, and efficient design
7: The simplest type of experimental design: completely randomized single-factor
8: Experiments with several factors (factorial designs)
9: Beyond complete randomization: blocking and covariates
10: Within-subject designs
11: Taking measurements
