Design Table for Placket-Burman Design
A column called Percent Reacted is included in the design table. You should conduct your experimental runs in the order shown in the table, recording your results in the Percent Reacted column.

Alias Matrix - Partial View Showing Up to Two-Way Interactions
Because the design is orthogonal for the main effects, the Alias Matrix gives the numerical values of the correlations between effects. See Alias Matrix in Evaluate Designs. For example, notice that Feed Rate is partially aliased with six two-way interactions and with four three-way interactions. These are the interactions corresponding to the entries of 0.333 and -0.33 in the row for Feed Rate.
The data table Plackett-Burman.jmp contains the results of the designed experiment. Recall that you suspect that the Temperature*Concentration interaction is active. You proceed under the assumption that this is the only potentially active interaction.

Parameter Estimates for Full Model
The Actual by Predicted Plot indicates no lack of model fit. The Parameter Estimates report shows that Catalyst is significant at the 0.05 level and that the Concentration*Temperature interaction is almost significant at the 0.10 level.
Effect Summary Outline for Full Model
Although Concentration is the least significant effect, it is involved in a higher-order interaction (Concentration*Temperature), as indicated by the caret to the right of its PValue. Based on the principle of effect heredity, Concentration should not be removed from the model while the Concentration*Temperature interaction remains in the model. See Effect Heredity in Starting Out with DOE. The next least significant effect is Stir Rate.

In the Effect Summary outline, select Stir Rate and click Remove.
Feed Rate is the next least significant effect that can be removed.
2.
In the Effect Summary outline, select Feed Rate and click Remove.
Effect Summary Outline for Reduced Model
The PValue column indicates that the Catalyst main effect and the Concentration*Temperature interaction are both significant at the 0.05 level. The model should not be reduced any further. If all other interactions are inactive or negligible, then you can conclude that Catalyst and the Concentration*Temperature interaction are active effects.
