Study Notes

Industrial Process Variables

Safety limits exist for maximum and minimum pressure and temperature in industrial processes.
Continuous variables are bounded: ( u_{j,\text{min}} \leq u_j \leq u_{j,\text{max}} ) (for ( j = 1, \ldots, m )).
Variables can be rescaled to lie between -1 and 1 for design ideas regardless of scale.

Scaling Continuous Variables

Coded variable: [ x_j = \frac{u_j - u_{j,\text{mid}}}{SR_j} ]
Mid-point: [ u_{j,\text{mid}} = \frac{u_{j,\text{min}} + u_{j,\text{max}}}{2} ]
Semi-range: [ SR_j = \frac{u_{j,\text{max}} - u_{j,\text{min}}}{2} ]
Inverse transformation from coded variables to physical variables: [ u_j = u_{j,\text{min}} + x_j \cdot SR_j ]

Design Restrictions

Further restrictions may apply; limits may not be independent.

Measure Theory in Experimental Design

General criterion for design optimization is: [ \Psi_k(\xi) = \frac{1}{p} \left( \sum_{i=1}^{p} \lambda^{-k} \right) ]
D-, A-, and E-optimality relate to distinct measures ( k = 1, 0, \infty ) respectively.

Design Points and Weights

Design can have ( m ) distinct points, represented as: [ \xi = \begin{pmatrix} x_1 & x_2 & \ldots & x_m \ w_1 & w_2 & \ldots & w_m \end{pmatrix} ]
Example of a first-order linear design:
- Design points can be equally distributed at -1 and 1.

Advanced Optimality Criteria

For exact designs, the relationship ( nM(\xi) = X'X ) holds.
The concept of standardized variance is integral in determining optimal designs.

Design Optimality Definitions

D-optimality relates to maximizing standardized variance, with variance capped at 2 under specific designs.

Considerations for Two Factors

When fitting models, initial designs may include 2k designs for D- and G-optimality.

Design Algorithms

Limited runs often rely on exact design theory combined with algorithms.
Key R packages for design optimization include:
- optFederov from the AlgDesign package
- gen design from the skpr package, which offers a GUI interface.
The get optimality function provides criteria efficiency score for designs.
