Optimization and Industrial Experimentation
David A. Dawkins, William J. Biles, James J. Swain · Journal of the Operational Research Society · 1981
Combines new developments in numerical optimization with statistical and experimental methods. Discusses the use of statistical methods to develop mathematical models; search methods for single-variable and multiple-variable optimization as well as classical and numerical techniques directly applicable in response surface methodology; and procedures for optimizing systems experimentally.
