The most comprehensive, single-volume guide to conductingexperiments with mixtures

"If one is involved, or heavily interested, in experiments onmixtures of ingredients, one must obtain this book. It is, as wasthe first edition, the definitive work."
-Short Book Reviews (Publication of the International StatisticalInstitute)

"The text contains many examples with worked solutions and with itsextensive coverage of the subject matter will prove invaluable tothose in the industrial and educational sectors whose work involvesthe design and analysis of mixture experiments."
-Journal of the Royal Statistical Society

"The author has done a great job in presenting the vitalinformation on experiments with mixtures in a lucid and readablestyle. . . . A very informative, interesting, and useful book on animportant statistical topic."
-Zentralblatt fur Mathematik und Ihre Grenzgebiete

Experiments with Mixtures shows researchers and students how todesign and set up mixture experiments, then analyze the data anddraw inferences from the results. Virtually every technique thathas appeared in the literature of mixtures can be found here, andcomputing formulas for each method are provided with completelyworked examples. Almost all of the numerical examples are takenfrom real experiments. Coverage begins with Scheffe latticedesigns, introducing the use of independent variables, and endswith the most current methods. New material includes:
* Multiple response cases
* Residuals and least-squares estimates
* Categories of components: Mixtures of mixtures
* Fixed as well as variable values for the major componentproportions
* Leverage and the Hat Matrix
* Fitting a slack-variable model
* Estimating components of variances in a mixed model using ANOVAtable entries
* Clarification of blocking mates and choice of mates
* Optimizing several responses simultaneously
* Biplots for multiple responses
