  1. Introduction to Design of Experimentsby Dr Brad Morantz

  2. Example • We have a simulation of a radar system • We want to test it • How do we test it in every point in variable space • There could be a combination of variables where the system goes postal (unstable) or does not perform correctly • And how do we test it in a reasonable amount of time • Often an impossibility

  3. Introduction & Overview • Structured method for performing (repeated) tests or analyses on a given system • Need (n + 1) tests to estimate n parameters • Needed to estimate interaction parameters • Need to test in the corners of the envelope • DOE changes the factors independently of each other • Allows discovery of interaction effects

  4. Terms • Factor – An Independent variable that can only take on a finite number of values (levels) • Covariate – An independent variable that can take on a continuous range of values • Parameter – A quantity that describes a statistical population (mean or variance) • Level – a setting for a factor, represented at a -1 or +1 in the design/test matrix • Run – one trial at specific factor settings • Repetition – Identical runs (combinations) done at the same time • Replicate – Identical runs (combinations) at different times • Response – the output or dependent variable • Full Factorial Design – examines all possible combinations of factors and levels • Fractional Factorial Design – Examines a fractional portion of the possible combinations of factors and levels

  5. Validities • External validity– the results generalize to the external world, that hold across different settings, procedures, & participants • Internal validity - validity of causal inferences • Construct validity– does the scale measure the unobservable construct that it is intended • Statistical conclusion validity - refers to the degree to which one’s analysis allows one to make the correct decision regarding the truth or approximate truth of the null hypothesis.

  6. 2k Screening • Full factorial 2 level design has 2k experiments • Tests at all possible points • May take too much time • If function is not monotonic (Continues in same direction) • Could miss activity in system • Should use at least a 3 level design

  7. CCD • Central Composite Design • Also called a “Box Wilson Central Composite design • Contains imbedded [or fractional] factorial design • Augmented with group of star points • Allow estimation of curvature • Twice as many star points as there are factors • Three types: • Circumscribed • Inscribed • Face Centered

  8. D-Optimal • Produced by computer algorithm • Usually not orthogonal • Effect estimates usually correlated • Straight optimizations • Based on the model and optimality criterion • Based on optimizing |X’X| • Optimality is model dependent • A set of treatment combinations created by using stepping and exchanging process

  9. Response Surface Designs • Latin Hypercube (volume filling) • Supported in GenSim • Taguchi • Smaller number of runs than full factorial • Many others • Sequential bifurcation • Folded designs • Combined designs • Many more • Each has its strengths & weaknesses

  10. JMP • Statistical Package • Works in Linux, Mac, Or PC • Generates test matrix • Easy to use • Produces coded values • Full or fractional factorial • Taguchi
