Custom Designs
Construct Designs That Meet Your Needs
Use the Custom Design platform to construct optimal designs that are custom built for your specific experimental setting. Generally, a custom design is more cost-effective than a design obtained using alternative methods. You can perform the following tasks:
• Enter factors of many different types.
• Specify constraints on the design space.
• Indicate which effects are necessary to estimate and which are desirable to estimate, if possible, given the number of runs.
• Specify a number of experimental runs that matches your budget.
The Custom Design platform constructs a wide variety of designs, including these special design types: Screening, Response Surface, Mixture, Random Block, Split Plot, Split-Split-Plot, and Two-Way Split Plot.
This chapter contains a detailed example of how to use the Custom Design platform, followed by information about the platform. See also Examples of Custom Designs.
