JMP 11 Design of Experiments Guide

A D-Optimal Augmentation of the Reactor Example

This example, adapted from Meyer, et al. (1996), demonstrates how to use the augment designer in JMP to resolve ambiguities left by a screening design. In this study, a chemical engineer investigates the effects of five factors on the percent reaction of a chemical process.

To begin, open Reactor 8 Runs.jmp found in the Design Experiment sample data folder installed with JMP. Then select Augment Design from the DOE menu. When the initial launch dialog appears:

1. Select Percent Reacted and click Y, Response.

2. Select all other variables except Pattern and click X, Factor.

3. Click OK on the launch dialog to see the Augment Design dialog in Figure 16.1.

Note: You can check Group new runs into ...
