Guidelines for Applied Agricultural Research: Designing, Reporting and Interpreting Experiments

Author

  • Anderson, Jock R.

Abstract

Commentary is made on the design, reporting, and economic interpretation of field experiments, and attention is given to Bayesian statistics as a potentially useful aid in planning and assessing research. This article complements the discussions of Lloyd (1958) and Dillon (1966) in this Review.
