In the Response Surface Design platform, the Output Options section enables you to specify details for the design data table.
The Run Order options determine the order of the runs in the design table. Choices include the following:
Keep the Same
Rows in the design table are in the same order as in the Design and Anticipated Coefficients section.
Sort Left to Right
Columns in the design table are sorted from left to right.
Randomize
Rows in the design table are in random order.
Sort Right to Left
Columns in the design table are sorted from right to left.
Randomize within Blocks
Rows in the design table are in random order within the blocks.
Number of Center Points
The number of center points that appear in the design. A center point is a run where every continuous factor is set at the center of the factor’s range. The initial value shown is the number of center points in the design that you selected.
Number of Replicates
The number of times to replicate the entire design, including center points. One replicate doubles the number of runs.
