Identifying an appropriate response surface model from experimental data requires knowledge of statistical experimental design fundamentals, regression modeling techniques, and elementary optimization methods. This book integrates these three topics into a comprehensive, state-of-the-art presentation of response surface methodology (RSM). This new third edition has been substantially rewritten and updated with new topics and material, new examples and exercises, and to more fully illustrate modern applications of RSM. Working with the most useful software packages, the authors bring an applied focus that emphasizes models useful in industry for product and process design and development.

Raymond H. Myers, PhD, is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Statistics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He has over forty years of academic experience in the areas of experimental design and analysis, response surface analysis, and designs for nonlinear models. A Fellow of the American Statistical Society, Dr. Myers has authored or coauthored numerous journal articles and books, including Generalized Linear Models: With Applications in Engineering and the Sciences, also published by Wiley.

Douglas C. Montgomery, PhD, is Regents' Professor of Industrial Engineering and Statistics at Arizona State University. Dr. Montgomery has over thirty years of academic and consulting experience and has devoted his research to engineering statistics, specifically the design and analysis of experiments. He has authored or coauthored numerous journal articles and twelve books, including Generalized Linear Models: With Applications in Engineering and the Sciences; Introduction to Linear Regression Analysis, Fourth Edition; and Introduction to Time Series Analysis and Forecasting, all published by Wiley.

Christine M. Anderson-Cook, PhD, is Project Leader a t the Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico. Dr. Anderson-Cook has over ten years of academic and consulting experience and has written numerous journal articles on the topics of design of experiments and response surface methodology.
