How to choose an appropriate design type to arrange research factors and their levels is an important issue in scientific research. Choosing an appropriate design type is directly related to the accuracy, scientificness and credibility of a research result. When facing a practical issue, how can researchers choose the most appropriate experimental design type to arrange an experiment based on the research objective and the practical situation? This article mainly introduces the related contents of the design of one factor with two levels and the design of one factor with k (k≥3) levels by analyzing some examples.

Key words: statistics, medical, research design, matched-pair analysis, factor analysis, statistical
