Organised by:Faculty of Science

Universiti Putra Malaysia

Resource Person:1. Prof. Dr. Habshah Midi (Speaker)(Deputy Dean, Faculty of Science and Lecturer Dept. of Mathematics, UPM)2. Dr. Anwar Fitrianto and Dr Sohel Rana (Facilitator) – Lecturer,Dept. of Mathematics, UPM)

Her research interests focus on robust statistics, regressions, experimental designs, quality control, sampling techniques, bootstrapping techniques and application of statistical methods to real life problems. Dr. Habshah Midi has taught a wide variety of post-graduates and undergraduate courses such as design and analysis of experiments, regression analysis, robust statistics, mathematical statistics, quality control techniques, etc.

Her student’s teaching evaluation marks has always been greater than 90%, which credits her the “Excellence in Teaching” from the Faculty of Science, every year since it was introduced in 2002. In 2007, Dr. Habshah Midi was awarded the Fellowship Naib Canselor (Excellence in Teaching) and in 2010, she was nominated by UPM for the National Academic Award (Excellence in Teaching).

Dr. Anwar and Dr Sohel Rana received their PhD degrees (Statistics) in 2010, under the supervision of Prof Dr. Habshah Midi.

Professor Dr. Habshah Midi completed her Bachelors Degree in Mathematics from Drew University, USA. She received the Master of Applied Statistics from The Ohio State University, USA. In October 1981, she joined Universiti Putra Malaysia as a lecturer and pursued her PhD (Statistics) from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia where she was awarded her doctorate in 1995. Currently she is the Vice-President of Malaysia Institute of Statistics.

3 DAYS WORKSHOP ONTHE RIGHT WAY TO DESIGN AND

ANALYSE EXPERIMENTS

Much of the research in engineering, social science and industry are empirical and makes extensive use of experimentation. Since statistical methods are used frequently to help policy makers in making decisions, it’s very vital for the researchers to have basic understanding of statistics. Because of the easy availability of the statistical packages such as SAS, SPSS, MINTAB etc, researchers who have a little knowledge in statistics have a greater scope to abuse statistics while analyzing their data. Without adequate knowledge in statistical techniques such as design and analysis of experiments, researchers simply instruct the packages to analyse data using their convenient design. Unfortunately, some researchers believe that knowing statistical packages is equivalent to knowing correct statistical techniques. They often are not aware of the fact that statistical packages just follow the instructions given to them and produce results accordingly. The packages do not know whether researchers have chosen the correct statistical techniques for their studies. Consequently, meaningless and misleading conclusions are obtained from an incorrect analysis.

The correct choice of design is very important to ensure that appropriate data can be analyze by relevant statistical techniques which will produce results leading to valid and objective conclusions.

Topics in a Design and Analysis of Experiments (DOE) course range from the introduction of the basic principles of DOE to recognizing the appropriate designs suitable for each
