ABSTRACT

So far, all we have said about an experiment is that it should be efficient and well thought out before execution. Because most people will buy this concept, where does SED have any advantage over the basic, “normal” way experimenters have been doing business for centuries? Let’s look at a long-established method that is recommended in physics books [1] and is usually called the classical, one-factor-at-a-time (1-FAAT) technique. We will investigate a 1-FAAT to see if it does get the required information with the least expenditure of resources.
