Overview of the Contour Profiler

The Contour Profiler shows plots of response contours for two factors at a time. Multiple contour plots for different combinations of factors can be viewed at the same time. Factors can be set to specific values to show how this affects the contours. The interactive contour profiling facility is useful for optimizing response surfaces graphically. Separate surface plots for each response are also available. Figure 4.2 shows an example of the Contour Profiler for the Tiretread.jmp sample data.
