M4S10 DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS AND SURVEYS WITH ADVANCED STUDY (Term 1)

This course attempts to answer the question ÒHow should an experiment or survey be designed? Practical issues of designing experiments and surveys and resulting mathematical problems arising from them are discussed. The course complements M2S2 and M3S7.
