Both the theory and practice of design of experiments have fragmented over the past fifty years. Work on complex block structures has become separated from work on complex treatment structures, model-based and randomization-based approaches have become separated, combinatorial and algorithmic constructions have their own followers and continuous optimal design theory has become distinct from exact optimal designs. The design of experiments has been so successful in many different areas of application that there are now different traditions in different areas.
The overall aim of this project is to unify the subject of the design of experiments, by working on important practical problems whose solution can be improved by using the best of all the different methodologies as appropriate.
The members of the project team are:
The specific programme of work being carried out under this EPSRC grant addresses the following four topics:
Other recent and current work at Queen Mary which fits in with the philosophy of unifying approaches to design of experiments includes the following:
