The previous example illustrates a complete factorial experiment involving eight runs and three factors: cutting speed (SPEED), feed rate (FEED), and tool angle (ANGLE). Now, suppose two machines (A ...
Experimentation is a vital part of the scientific method. Most problems in science require observation of the system at work and experimentation to elucidate information about how the system works. In ...
Orthogonal factorial designs are most commonly used at the initial stages of experimentation. At these stages, it is best to experiment with as few levels of each factor as possible in order to ...
A polypill comprising statins, multiple blood-pressure–lowering drugs, and aspirin has been proposed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Using a 2-by-2-by-2 factorial design, we randomly ...
