《Experimental Designs, 2nd Edition》由美國統計學家William G. Cochran與Gertrude M. Cox合著，1992年4月20日由Wiley出版社出版，收錄於其經典叢書《Wiley Classics Library》。該書作為實驗設計領域的方法論手冊，基於1957年初版框架修訂，整合了學科近六年的發展動向。
全書圍繞實驗設計的核心原則展開，系統闡述不同研究場景下的方案選擇與實施規範。第二版新增部分重複實驗設計、連續變數因子實驗策略及回響最大化因子水平篩選方法，並擴充了不完全區組設計的套用分析案例。書中案例多源自生物學與農業領域，結合統計學理論與實際研究需求，為科研人員提供結構化設計指導。

內容簡介
The past six years have seen a substantial increase in the attention paid by research workers to the principles of experimental design. The Second Edition of brings this handbook up to date, while retaining the basic framework that made it so popular. Describes the most useful of the designs that have been developed with accompanying plans and an account of the experimental situations for which each design is most suitable. Examples come from diverse fields of research, with an emphasis on biology and agriculture, two of the authors' specialties. New chapters have been added: one discusses the fractional replication of experiments. A second is concerned with experiments of the factorial type that present new methods and designs in which the factors represent quantitative variables measured on a continuous scale. Other new material includes an introductory account of experimental strategies for finding the levels at which the factors must be set in order to obtain maximum response and coverage of new incomplete block designs.
