Statistical Analysis Professor Lynne Stokes Department of Statistical Science Lecture 14 Sequential Experimentation, Screening Designs, Fold-Over Designs
2
Don’t Risk all Experimental Resources on a Single Comprehensive Experiment Usually many inert factors, few dominant ones Unexpected effects may be found early Experiment could be terminated early with substantial cost savings Comprehensive evaluation of a few dominant factors is usually more informative than little information on many factors
3
Conduct a Screening Experiment to Identify Dominant Factors Augment the Screening Experiment to Identify Strong Two-Factor Interactions Conduct a R V Experiment with the Dominant Factors Comprehensive Experiment with a Few Factors and Multiple Levels or Design to Quantitatively Characterize the Response Surface Figure 7.7 A simple strategy for a sequence of experiments.
4
Sequential Experimentation Large experiments Design so that key fractions can be run in sequence Key fractions : Resolution III, IV, or V Analyze each sequence of data as it is completed Based on the results of the analysis Continue experiment Terminate Redesign with dominant/new factors

6
Screening Experiments Very few test runs Ability to assess main effects only Generally leads to a comprehensive evaluation of a few dominant factors Potential for bias Highly effective for isolating vital few strong effects should be used ONLY under the proper circumstances Highly effective for isolating vital few strong effects should be used ONLY under the proper circumstances
7
Plackett-Burman Screening Designs Any number of factors, each having 2 levels Interactions nonexistent or negligible Relative to main effects Number of test runs is a multiple of 4 At least 6 more test runs than factors should be used
8
Construction Determine the number of factors (k) to be included in the design Determine the experiments size : at least k + 6 6df for error Select the design generator from Table 7A2 Generate the rows of the design Design generator is the first row Move all levels in the previous row one position to the left; move the first level of the previous row to the last position Continue the previous step until n - 1 rows are filled The last row has all levels equal to -1
9
Construction (con’t) Randomize Randomly Assign Factors to Columns; Delete Unassigned Columns Randomly Permute the Rows
