Summary on Grant Application Form
The standard definition of an experimental design is a set of points in a design space is replaced by the algebraic variety giving the points. The ideal I is the set of (multivariate) polynomials with zeros at the points. If R is the ring of polynomials in m factors the quotient vector space R/I gives all identifiable models. The quotient operation can be performed with respect to a Grbner Basis. This allows the use of packages such as MAPLE, MACAULEY and COCOA which will develop theory, computer tools and application to a range of industrially and theoretically important models: mixture, lattice models for Fourier regression, non-linear models. Where possible complex industrial experiments will be studied.
