Some Basic Definitions

Definition of a factor effect: The change in the mean response when the factor is changed from low to high

The Effect of Interaction on the Response Surface

Suppose that we add an interaction term to the model:

1 2 1 2ˆ 35.5 10.5 5.5 8y x x x x

Interaction is actually a form of curvature

Example 5.1 The Battery Life ExperimentText reference pg. 187

A = Material type; B = Temperature (A quantitative variable)

1. What effects do material type & temperature have on life?

2. Is there a choice of material that would give long life regardless of temperature (a robust product)?

The General Two-Factor Factorial Experiment

a levels of factor A; b levels of factor B; n replicates

This is a completely randomized design

Quantitative and Qualitative Factors

• The basic ANOVA procedure treats every factor as if it were qualitative

• Sometimes an experiment will involve both quantitative and qualitative factors, such as in Example 5.1

• This can be accounted for in the analysis to produce regression models for the quantitative factors at each level (or combination of levels) of the qualitative factors

• These response curves and/or response surfaces are often a considerable aid in practical interpretation of the results


19Chapter 5


Candidate model terms from Design- Expert: Intercept

A B B2

AB B3

AB2

A = Material type

B = Linear effect of Temperature

B2 = Quadratic effect of Temperature

AB = Material type – TempLinear

AB2 = Material type - TempQuad

B3 = Cubic effect of Temperature (Aliased)

Factorials with More Than Two Factors

• Basic procedure is similar to the two-factor case; all abc…kn treatment combinations are run in random order

• ANOVA identity is also similar:
