Screening : Methods for Experimentation in Industry, Drug Discovery, and Genetics, Hardback Book

Screening : Methods for Experimentation in Industry, Drug Discovery, and Genetics Hardback

Edited by Angela Dean, Susan Lewis

Hardback

Description

The process of discovery in science and technology may require investigation of a large number of features, such as factors, genes or molecules.

In Screening, statistically designed experiments and analyses of the resulting data sets are used to identify efficiently the few features that determine key properties of the system under study. This book brings together accounts by leading international experts that are essential reading for those working in fields such as industrial quality improvement, engineering research and development, genetic and medical screening, drug discovery, and computer simulation of manufacturing systems or economic models.

Our aim is to promote cross-fertilization of ideas and methods through detailed explanations, a variety of examples and extensive references.

Topics cover both physical and computer simulated experiments.

They include screening methods for detecting factors that affect the value of a response or its variability, and for choosing between various different response models.

Screening for disease in blood samples, for genes linked to a disease and for new compounds in the search for effective drugs are also described.

Statistical techniques include Bayesian and frequentist methods of data analysis, algorithmic methods for both the design and analysis of experiments, and the construction of fractional factorial designs and orthogonal arrays. The material is accessible to graduate and research statisticians, and to engineers and chemists with a working knowledge of statistical ideas and techniques.

It will be of interest to practitioners and researchers who wish to learn about useful methodologies from within their own area as well as methodologies that can be translated from one area to another.
