More Complex Experimental Designs

Once you have figured out how to perform a controlled experiment using randomization, you may be interested in learning to use one of the following more advanced techniques:

  • Randomized block design
  • Matched pairs design
    • Same experimental units (also known as within subjects design)
    • Similar experimental units (also known as between subjects design)


As you watch the following video, think about which type of experimental design may work best for your experiment.
