A bestseller for some 25 years, Milliken and Johnson's (both Kansas State U.) textbook helps students learn to analyze the kinds of data encountered in the real world. The second edition has been updated throughout to reflect changes since publication of the first edition. The text examines various techniques which are implemented using several statistical software packages and emphasizing the distinction between design structure and the structure of treatments. The new edition includes several modern suggestions for multiple comparison procedures; additional examples of split-plot designs and repeated measures design; the use of SAS-GLM to analyze an effects model; and the use of SAS-MIXED and JMP to analyze data in random effects, mixed model, and repeated measures experiments.
