Introduction Special case of general factorial designs k factors each with two levels Factors maybe qualitative or quantitative A complete replicate of such design is 2k

factorial design Assumed factors are fixed, the design are

completely randomized, and normality Used as factor screening experiments Response between levels is assumed linear

The 22 Design

“-” and “+” denote the low and high levels of a factor, respectively

Low and high are arbitrary terms

Geometrically, the four runs form the corners of a square

Factors can be quantitative or qualitative, although their treatment in the final model will be different

Page 7: Design and Analysis of  Experiments

Estimate factor effects Formulate model

With replication, use full model With an unreplicated design, use normal probability plots

Statistical testing (ANOVA) Refine the model Analyze residuals (graphical) Interpret results

The 23 Design -- Properties of the Table

Except for column I, every column has an equal number of + and – signs

The sum of the product of signs in any two columns is zero

Multiplying any column by I leaves that column unchanged (identity element)

The 23 Design -- Properties of the Table

The product of any two columns yields a column in the table:

Unreplicated 2k Factorial Designs

These are 2k factorial designs with one observation at each corner of the “cube”

An unreplicated 2k factorial design is also sometimes called a “single replicate” of the 2k

These designs are very widely used Risks…if there is only one observation at each

corner, is there a chance of unusual response observations spoiling the results?

Modeling “noise”?

Page 37: Design and Analysis of  Experiments

37

If the factors are spaced too closely, it increases the chances that the noise will overwhelm the signal in the data

More aggressive spacing is usually best

Unreplicated 2k Factorial Designs

Page 38: Design and Analysis of  Experiments

38

Lack of replication causes potential problems in statistical testing Replication admits an estimate of “pure error” (a

better phrase is an internal estimate of error) With no replication, fitting the full model results

in zero degrees of freedom for error Potential solutions to this problem

Pooling high-order interactions to estimate error Normal probability plotting of effects (Daniels,

1959)

A 24 factorial was used to investigate the effects of four factors on the filtration rate of a resin

The factors are A = temperature, B = pressure, C = mole ratio, D= stirring rate

The 2k design and design optimality

The 22 design is called D-optimal design In fact, all 2k design is D-optimal design for

fitting first order model with interaction. Consider the variance of the predicted

response in the 22 design:

The 2k design and design optimality

The Minitab provide the function on “Select Optimal Design” when you have a full factorial design and are trying to reduce the it to a partial design or “fractional design”.

It only provide the “D-optimal design” One needs to have a full factorial design first

and the choose the number of data points to be allowed to use.

Page 69: Design and Analysis of  Experiments

69

These results give us some assurance that these designs are “good” designs in some general ways

Factorial designs typically share some (most) of these properties

There are excellent computer routines for finding optimal designs

Addition of Center Points to a 2k Designs

If curvature is significant, augment the design with axial runs to create a central composite design. The CCD is a very effective design for fitting a second-order response surface model

Addition of Center Points to a 2k Designs

Use current operating conditions as the center point

Check for “abnormal” conditions during the time the experiment was conducted

Check for time trends Use center points as the first few runs when

there is little or no information available about the magnitude of error
