Workshop descriptions
Workshop Title
The Design of Experiments: Developments, Theory & Practice in GenStat (external site) and CycDesigN (external site)
Presenters: Professor Roger Payne (VSNi, UK) and Dr Emlyn Williams (ANU, Canberra)
The workshop will cover:
- Principles of experimental design. (e.g. treatment balance, orthogonality, resolvability, efficiency, optimality and randomisation) to refresh background theory surrounding design.
- Further theory on latinisation and design generation/search algorithms.
- Principles and practice, using CycDesigN.
- Lesser known design features, new design developments & implementations in GenStat.
The workshop is suitable for statistical practitioners, applied statisticians and biometricians. The workshop will involve hands on use of CycDesign and GenStat in a computer laboratory. Delegates do not need to bring their own laptops as both software packages will be available on the laboratory computers.
A 3-month license for CycDesigN will be provided for all workshop delegates.
