THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTS. By Oscar Kempthorne. New York, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1952. 631 pp. $8.50. This book by a teacher of statistics (as well as a consultant for \"experimenters\") is a comprehensive study of the philosophical background for the statistical design of experiment. It is necessary to have some facility with algebraic notation and manipulation to be able to use the volume intelligently. The problems are presented from the theoretical point of view, without such practical examples as would be helpful for those not acquainted with mathematics. The mathematical justification for the techniques is given. As a somewhat advanced treatment of the design and analysis of experiments, this volume will be interesting and helpful for many who approach statistics theoretically as well as practically. With emphasis on the \"why,\" and with description given broadly, the author relates the subject matter to the general theory of statistics and to the general problem of experimental inference.

Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is a type of hardboard which is made from wood fibers glued under heat and pressure. MDF are appropriate for the many exterior or interior industrial applications. Drilling is one of the most common and fundamental machining processes. It is most frequently performed in material removal and is used as a preliminary step for many operations, such as reaming, tapping and boring. Because of their importance in nearly all production operations, twist drills have been the subject of numerous investigations. This article aims to study the effects of the drilling parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, and drill diameter (input parameters) used on the prediction of surface roughness (output response) on drilling MDF composite. The experiment was carried out by varying the drilling parameters and the output response surface roughness is modelled mathematically. The adequacy of the mathematical model is analyzed statistically using Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) which gives a high degree of correlation between the input parameters and output response. It is evident that feed rate during drilling is the most influencing factor to surface roughness.
