This book is a translation of the up-dated version of my German textbook
that was written parallel to my lecture "Design of Experiments" which I
held at the University of Munich. It was often called to my attention by
statisticians in the pharmaceutical in- dustry, that there is a need for
a summarizing and standardized representation of the design and analysis
of experiments, that includes the different aspects of classical theory
for continuous response and of modern procedures for categori- cal and
especially correlated response, as well as more complex designs, as for
example cross-over and repeated measures. My staff and graduate students
played an essential part in the preparation of the manuscript. They
wrote the text in well-tried precision (Andreas Fie- ger), worked out
examples (Andreas Fieger, Christian Kastner), and prepared several
sections in this book (Ulrike Feldmeier, Sabina Illi, Elke Ortmann, An-
drea Schopp, Irmgard Strehler, Christian Kastner, Oliver Loch). I am
appreciative of the efforts of those who assisted in the preparation of
the English version. In particular, I would like to thank Sabina Illi
and Oliver Loch, as well as V.K. Srivastava (University of Lucknow,
India) for their careful reading of the English version and invaluable
suggestions.
