Researchers have released CSOMA, an open-source MATLAB toolkit that uses a competition-based swarm algorithm to solve derivative-free optimization problems in optimal experimental design and beyond.

Introductory quantitative skills required to conduct experimental research and analyze resulting data. Principles of measurement, modeling of experimental data, and statistical design of experiments.

Definitions of experimental research design aren't necessarily exciting. Explaining the meaning of the term can get boring fast. But for real excitement, and sometimes disastrous consequences, take a ...
