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. The Custom Design platform enables you to constructs a wide variety of designs, including: Screening, Response Surface, Mixture, Random Block, Split Plot, Split-Split-Plot, and Two-Way Split Plot designs. Use the Custom Design platform to design experiments that include:

Factors of many different types.

Constraints on the design space.

Specific effects are necessary to estimate and effects that are desirable to estimate, if possible, given the number of runs.

Specify a number of experimental runs that matches your budget.

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”.
