Bartlett's Work on Agricultural Experiments

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  05 September 2017

Abstract

A selection of Bartlett's work as an operating statistician in his first position as statistician 1934–38 at the I.C.I. agricultural research station at Jealott's Hill, Berks., is described. This illustrates some of the methods he used for the efficient detection of treatment effects and for an appraisal of the suitability of the experimental designs that were being used.
