ORTHOGONAL ARRAYS.. Theory and Applications

This is the first book on the subject since its introduction more than fifty years ago, and it can be used as a graduate text or as a reference work. It features all of the key results, many very useful tables, and a large number of exercises and research problems. Most of the arrays that can be obtained by the methods in this book are available electronically. The book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in one of the most fascinating areas of discrete mathematics, connected to statistics and coding theory, with applications to computer science and cryptography. It will be useful for anyone who is running experiments, whether in a chemistry lab or a manufacturing plant (trying to make those alloys stronger), or in agricultural or medical research.
