Diseños experimentales e investigación científica = Experimental designs and scientific research.

Abstract. The basics of the experimental designs are noted. Different features of common types of experimental designs such as the completely randomized design, the randomized block design, the Latin Square design, the split plot design and the factorial design are described. Each experimental design is illustrated by an example using real data. The application of experimental designs to the scientific research is discussed. Resumen. Se describen los fundamentos de los disenos experimentales. Se explican las distintas caracteristicas de los disenos experimentales del uso comun, tales como el diseno completamente aleatorio, e diseno de bloques al azar, el diseno de cuadro latino, el diseno de parcelas divididas y el de factorial. Para cada diseno se presenta un ejemplo con los datos reales del campo. Se discute la aplicacion de estos disenos en relacion con la investigacion cientifica.
