JMP 12 Design of Experiments Guide

Overview of Screening Designs

Each continuous factor in a screening design is typically set at two levels. Classical designs can also accommodate categorical factors with three levels. When the number of possible factor level combinations results in an infeasible design size, response measurements are taken for only a fraction of these combinations.

The screening design platform provides screening designs for two-level continuous factors, categorical factors, and discrete continuous factors. These designs are of two types:

• Classical designs: For situations where standard screening designs exist, you can choose from a list of these designs.

• Main Effects Screening Designs: For situations where standard designs are not available, JMP generates ...
