Application of statistics in the science and engineering field have been practiced extensively in various countries. However, it appears to be this practice is not common in Korea possibly due to the lack of knowledge and experience among the scientists and engineers.
Subjects such as experimental design, response surface methodology, optimization, evolutionary operation, model building and discrimination, decision theory etc. should attract enough interest from the people who are engaged in the fields of science and engineering.
This article of the experimental design is intended solely to show how statistics help chemical engineers.
