Levels

The levels of a factor in a design represent different values or settings of that factor being tested. In an experiment, these levels help to understand the impact of each factor on the outcome. For example, in a drug trial, levels might represent different doses of a medication.

Rotatable Designs

A design is considered rotatable if the variance of the predicted response is the same for all points that are equidistant from the center of the design. This property allows for a better understanding of the curvature of the response surface. This is important for accurate predictions of the response variable.

Study Notes

Choosing Your Experimental Design

  • The design depends on the experiment's objective
  • One factor: completely randomized design
  • Two to four factors: randomized block design
  • Five or more factors: randomized block design, full or fractional factorial, or screening (reducing factors)

Response Surface Methodology (RSM)

  • A collection of mathematical and statistical methods for modeling
  • Analyzes processes where the response of interest is affected by various variables
  • Aims to optimize processes

Considerations in RSM

  • Requires a quantitative response affected by continuous factors
  • Works best with a limited number of critical factors (screening)
  • Produces an empirical polynomial model approximating the true response
  • Seeks optimal factor settings (maximizing, minimizing, or stabilizing the response)

RSM Workflow

  • Screening: Identify known and unknown factors. Characterize factor effects and interactions. Determine if curvature is present
  • Characterization: Analyze factor effects and interactions.
  • Optimization: If curvature is present, apply RSM. Confirm the optimization.
  • Verification: Confirm the results obtained

RSM Workflow: Screening

  • Analyze known and unknown factors
  • Characterize factor effects and interactions
  • Determine if curvature is present
  • Confirmation if no curvature is observed

RSM Workflow: Characterization

  • Analyze factor effects and interactions
  • Evaluate whether RSM is required for optimization

RSM Workflow: Optimization

  • Apply RSM if curvature is observed during characterization
  • Confirm the results obtained

Full Factorial Design (FFD)

  • An experimental design with two or more factors and multiple discrete values/levels
  • Example: 2k factorial (2 levels), 3k factorial (3 levels)
  • Can be used for more than 2 factors
  • Example factorial design is shown with replicates for 3 levels of each of 2 factors
  • Factorial points based on levels in the experiment

FFD vs RSM Designs (CCD and BBD)

  • Central Composite Design (CCD): Embeds a factorial design, augmented with center and 'star' points to estimate curvature
  • Box-Behnken Design (BBD): An independent quadratic design, with treatment combinations at edge midpoints and center points, and 3 levels for each factor.

RSM Designs: CCD vs BBD

Analysis Procedure

  • Configure and transform data
  • Perform fit summary
  • Analyze model

Fit Summary Guidelines

  • Correlation coefficient R²: close to 1
  • Adjusted R²: close to 1
  • Predicted R²: greater than p-value (p = 0.05)
  • Lack of fit: R²adj - R²p < 0.2
  • Model: less than p-value (p = 0.05)

Lack of Fit Test

  • Comparisons between actual data and predicted value; variation compared with replicates

Diagnostics

  • Evaluate plots to understand model
  • Identify if residuals follow a normal distribution (normal plot)
  • Check if residuals are randomly scattered about zero (residuals vs. predicted, residuals vs. run)
  • Examine relationship between predicted vs. actual values
  • Use boxcox plot to understand potential transformations

Features of a Good DOE using RSM

  • Provides a reasonable distribution of data throughout the region of interest.
  • Allows testing model adequacy.
