Design Resources Server (Bulletin)

Abstract

Design Resources Server has been developed to popularize and disseminate research in design of experiments among experimenters in agricultural sciences, biological sciences, animal sciences, social sciences and industry in planning and designing their experiments for making precise and valid inferences on the problems of their interest. It also provides support for analysis of data generated so as to meet the objectives of the study. This server also aims at providing a platform to the researchers in Design of Experiments for disseminating research and also strengthening research in newer emerging areas so as to meet the challenges of agricultural research. This server attempts to spread advances in theoretical, computational and statistical aspects of Design of Experiments among the mathematicians and statisticians in academia and among the practicing statisticians involved in advisory and consultancy services. The Design Resources Server contains a lot of useful information for Experimenters/ Statisticians. The material available on the server has been partitioned into four main components: • Useful for Experimenters: Electronic Books, online generation of randomized layout of designs, online analysis of data, analysis of data using various softwares • Useful for Statisticians: Literature and catalogues of Binary Balanced Block (BBB) designs, designs for making test treatments-Control treatment comparisons, supersaturated designs, Online generation of Hadamard matrices, Mutually orthogonal Latin Squares (MOLS) and orthogonal arrays • Other Useful Links: Discussion Board, Ask a Question, Who-is-where, important links • Site Information: Feedback, How to Quote Design Resources Server, Copyright, disclaimer, contact us and site map

The Design Resources Server is like a mobile Library on Design of Experiments in particular and Statistics in general. It provides useful information both for active researchers in Statistics as well as stake holders like scientists in National Agricultural Research System and others all over the globe. The server is dynamic in nature and new links on various topics are added to it regularly. The server is hosted at the home page of Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute, New Delhi and can be reached at www.isari.res.in/design.
