Examples of Custom Designs
Perform Experiments That Meet Your Needs
Use the Custom Design platform as your primary tool for constructing a wide range of experimental designs. You can construct a variety of design types and fine tune them to your specific experimental needs and resource budget.
Custom Design provides more options and control than the Screening, Response Surface, Full Factorial, and Mixture Design platforms. The designs that you construct are created specifically to meet your goals. This eliminates the struggle to find a classical design that only comes close to meeting your goals.
The flexible special-purpose designs that you can construct using Custom Design include:
Screening designs, including supersaturated screening designs
Response surface designs, including those with categorical factors
Mixture designs, including those with process factors, and mixture of mixture designs
Designs that include covariates or that are robust to linear time trends
Fixed and random block designs
Split-plot, split-split-plot, and two-way split-plot (strip-plot) designs
In this chapter you construct most of these design types within the Custom Design platform. In many cases, you also analyze the experimental results. For help with using the Custom Design platform, see the “Custom Designs” chapter.
