Hurrah! Your beloved energypedia is getting a new software update to ensure faster and easier knowledge exchange and sharing on energypedia. After the new software update, you can expect a new and updated energypedia with a responsive design.
Hence, from 30 Aug to 15 Sep, energypedia will be on read-only mode and you will not be able to download/upload content or create/edit articles on energypedia.

Overview
Experimental or Randomized Control Designs
- The plan of an experiment, including selection of subjects, order of administration of the experimental treatment, the kind of treatment, the procedures by which it is administered, and the recording of the data (with special reference to the particular statistical analyses to be performed.
- Randomization, in which the selection into the treatment and control groups is random within some well-defined set of people. In this case there should be no difference (in expectation) between the two groups besides the fact that the treatment group had access to the program. (There can still be differences due to sampling error; the larger the size of the treatment and control samples the less the error.).
