Overview of the Custom Profiler

The Custom Profiler enables you to optimize factor settings without graphical output. The Custom Profiler can be used for problems of any size. It is especially useful for large problems where the standard graphical profiler has too many graphs to visualize well.

The Custom Profiler report has many fields in common with other profilers. The Benchmark field holds a value, or benchmark, of the predicted response. You can compare new results to the benchmark value and update the value based on the current factor settings.

The Optimization report enables you to specify the formula to be optimized and specifications for the optimization.
