STÂ 4123 Design of Experiments: 3 hours.
(Prerequisites: ST 3223 and MA 3113). Three hours lecture. This course bridges the classical theory of experimental design, developed by R. A. Fisher, J. S-Neyman, and others, with the modern revolution in causal inference. We will begin with the fundamental principles of randomization, blocking, and factorial designs, and then progress to contemporary challenges and designs that are prevalent in fields such as technology (A/B testing), medicine, public policy, and the social sciences
