Then perform the runs, and enter the responses into the computer. This complete analysis can quickly identify the three most important factors. Next the software performs a response-surface design for 20 runs. When the analysis is done, you have a complete understanding of the response surface, know what the optimal settings are, and what the variability in the process is. Good software can be invaluable in leading you through design choices that result in an efficient design to help you find answers.
Good software facilitates good experimental design.
Even if you are an expert at experimental design, you still need good software to help you design an experiment. And even if you don't have the time and resources to spend becoming an expert, you can do a useful and commendable job as a novice with a little guidance and good software. All rights reserved.
