Product Description: This self-contained introductory text on the behavior of learning automata focuses on how a sequential decision-maker with a finite number of choices responds in a random environment. Topics include fixed structure automata, variable structure stochastic automata, convergence, 0 and S models, nonstationary environments, interconnected automata and games, and applications of learning automata...read more

Helps readers in learning how to design, conduct, and analyze experiments that optimize performance in products and processes. This book focuses on the use of the computer, providing output from two software products: Minitab and Design Expert. It also offers material on important topics, including follow-up experimentation and split-plot design.

Written by engineers, it uses a practical, applied approach that is more oriented to engineering than any other text available. Instead of a few engineering examples mixed in with examples from other fields, all of its unique problem sets reflect the types of situations encountered by engineers in their working lives.
