Tentative: Design and Analysis of Experiments by Douglas Montgomery, 8th edition (ISBN: 978-1-1181-4692-7).

Computer Requirements:

ProEd minimum computer requirements. Knowledge of a statistical software (e.g., SAS, JMP, R, MATLAB) that includes a linear mixed model procedure is not required but very helpful.

Other Requirements:

Access to SAS software is important. The recommended form for accessing SAS is through Purdue's remote computing options. However, with the return of a filled-out license agreement from the class website, a temporary version of SAS can be shipped to you.
