Simulation Experiment
Used to run a designed simulation experiment on the locations of the factor distributions. A window appears, allowing you to specify the number of design points, the portion of the factor space to be used in the experiment, and which factors to include in the experiment. For factors not included in the experiment, the current value shown in the Profiler is the one used in the experiment.
The experimental design is a Latin Hypercube. The output has one row for each design point. The responses include the defect rate for each response with spec limits, and an overall defect rate. After the experiment, it would be appropriate to fit a Gaussian Process model on the overall defect rate, or a root or a logarithm of it.
A simulation experiment does not sample the factor levels from the specified distributions. As noted above, the design is a Latin Hypercube. At each design point, N Runs random draws are generated with the design point serving as the center of the random draws, and the shape and variability coming from the specified distributions.
