This tutorial outlines the basic procedures for planning experiments within the context of the scientific method. Too often quality practitioners fail to appreciate how subject-matter expertise must interact with statistical expertise to generate efficient and effective experimental programs. This tutorial guides the quality practitioner through the basic steps, demonstrated by extensive past experience, that consistently lead to successful results. This tutorial makes extensive use of flowcharts to illustrate the basic process....

Space-Filling Designs are a common choice of experimental design strategy for computer experiments. This paper compares space filling design types based on their theoretical prediction variance properties with respect to the Gaussian Process model.

There are many situations where the requirements of a standard experimental design do not fit the research requirements of the problem. Three such situations occur when the problem requires unusual resource restrictions, when there are constraints on the design region, and when a non-standard model is expected to be required to adequately explain the response.
