Summary: Excellent book
Review: As a quality engineer for Xerox Mexicana, application of DOE and RSM is part of the day-to-day activities. This book is an excellent tutor to apply RSM. Highly recommended.

Summary: great applied text by well known authors
Review: Doug Montgomery and Ray Myers are excellent teachers who have taught and written texts on applied subjects for engineers and other statistical practitioners. The subjects have included regression, design and analysis of experiments, linear models and response surfaces. Myers wrote the best applied text on response surfaces in the 1970s. With this text the two team up to provide a recent and thorough account of the methodology. It incorporate modern techniques such as the Taguchi and other robust designs and incorporate a response surface approach with these variance models.

Summary: even better second edition
Review: I took my first short course in response surface designs from Ray Myers at an IPE course. He was a great teacher and taught out of his first book. That book was self-published after he had disagreements with his original publisher. Many years later he and Doug Montgomery joined forces and published the first edition of this book with Wiley. I have reviewed that book previously for amazon.This second edition is ideal. When I took the course I understood the material so well that I was able to apply the methodology right away in my work. The clarity of these authors is outstanding and they provide a wealth of well illustrated examples. It also is greatly expanded and has many student exercises at the end of each chapter. In addition to the standard response surface designs the book does a good job of coevring experimental design concepts in general and even covers Taguchi designs and robust parameter design. In addition topics such as mixture experiments and evolutionary operation are covered. Advanced topics include the generalized linear models and the general estimating equations approach to mixed effects models and repeated measures ANOVA. Very authoritative with an extensive list of references and appendices to aid understanding.

Summary: Montgomery misses the point
Review: Montgomery and Myers omit major points in the analyis of responses surfaces. No where do they mention the concept of expected mean squares, or nested factorial designs. This book may be adequate for an engineer, but for a serious mathematician, it is not at a sufficient level. If you found this book lacking, try Skillings and Webber's book: Experimental Designs.

Summary: Very well written
Review: Myers & Montgomery have woven an invaluable resource that combines theory and application for a large variety of problems that can be investigated using RSM. This is one of those texts that should be on the shelf of a researcher and modeler.
