Both the Custom Design and Mixture Design platforms construct designs for situations where all of your factors are ingredients in a mixture. However, mixture experiments can involve non-mixture process variables, or process factors. In addition to mixture only designs, the Custom Design platform can construct designs to accommodate both mixture and process factors. The Custom Design platform also allows the mixture components to sum to any positive number. See the Mixture description in “Factor Types”.
The following examples illustrate constructing mixture designs using the Custom Design platform.
