- QUOTE: Much of the progress in the sciences comes from performing experiments. These may be of either an exploratory or a confirmatory nature. Experimental evidence can be contrasted with evidence obtained from other sources such as observational studies, anecdotal evidence, or “from authority”. This book focuses on design and analysis of experiments. While not denigrating the roles of anecdotal and observational evidence, the substantial benefits of experiments (discussed below) make them one of the cornerstones of science.
