7. Design of Experiments (Analyze)

Plan and conduct standard design of experiments (DOE) (e.g., full-factorial, fractional factorial, Latin square design). Implement robust-design approaches (e.g., Taguchi design, parametric design, DOE incorporating noise factors) to improve or optimize design.

Designing your experiment should include considerations of how the variables may create results due to interactions or be difficult to isolate due to confounding.
