Experimental Design for the Life Sciences

Experimental Design for the Life Sciences starts off by asking why we should care about design. It then looks to how to start with a well-defined hypothesis. The text covers questions involved in selecting the broad design of a study. It looks at between-individual variation, replication, and sampling. There are also chapters on pseudoreplication, sample size, power, effective design, experimental design, and factorial designs. Finally, the text considers beyond complete randomization, within-subject designs, and measurements.
