GEORGE E. P. BOX, PhD, DSc, FRS, is Ronald Aylmer Fisher Professor Emeritus of Statistics and Industrial Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, an Honorary Fellow and Shewhart and Deming Medalist of the American Society for Quality, and was awarded the Guy Medal in Gold from the Royal Statistical Society. He is also the recipient of the Samuel S. Wilks Memorial Medal of the American Statistical Association. NORMAN DRAPER is Professor Emeritus of Statistics in the Department of Statistics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He received his PhD from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and has published dozens of papers in professional journals. He is the coauthor (with Harry Smith) of Applied Regression Analysis, Third Edition, published by Wiley.
"The book can be used as a primary text for graduate courses in response surface methodology, as a supplementary text for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses in design of experiments, and as a reference for researchers." (SciTech Book Reviews, June 2007) "This book should be mandatory on the shelves of all statisticians. If you own the first edition, it is time to update it with this latest version." (Journal of the American Statistical Association, June 2008) "...an important reference source." (International Statistical Review, 2007)
