Definitive Screening Design for Extraction Process
Now, conduct your experiment and record your data in the Yield column of the generated data table (Definitive Screening Design for Extraction Process). The Extraction Data.jmp sample data table contains your experimental results.
A main effects model fails to show overall significance. Only one effect, Methanol, is identified as active. To see this, follow these steps:

The Effect Summary report shows that all effects other than Ethanol are significant at the 0.05 level. Ethanol is nearly significant at the 0.05 level and it is a component of the Ethanol*Time interaction, which is significant. Consequently, you retain Ethanol as a model effect.

Aliasing of Effects for Fractional Factorial Design
The Aliasing of Effects outline for the 16-run fractional factorial design shows that every two-factor interaction is confounded with at least one other two-factor interaction. In this fractional factorial design, the Ethanol*Time interaction is confounded with Methanol*pH. To determine which interaction is active, you need to run additional trials. Had the factors been entered in a different order, the Ethanol*Time interaction might have been aliased with two other two-factor interactions.
In the section Definitive Screening Design, you constructed a 13-run definitive screening design. When you analyzed the experimental results for this 13-run design, the Ethanol*Time interaction was found to be active. See Model Specifying Main and All Second Order Effects.
Using the13-run definitive screening design, you also determined that the quadratic effect Methanol*Methanol was likely to be active. For the 16-run fractional factorial design, this quadratic effect cannot even be estimated. This is because the settings for each factor are at either the low or the high value. If you add center points, you might be able to detect curvature. But you will not be able to determine which factor is responsible without further runs.
The extraction factors and their settings are given in the data table Extraction Factors.jmp. Generate a definitive screening design with a block as follows.
1.
Select DOE > Definitive Screening Design.
2.
Double-click Y under Response Name and type Yield.
4.
Open the Extraction Factors.jmp sample data table, located in the Design Experiment folder.
5.
Click Continue.

Select Add Blocks with Center Runs to Estimate Quadratic Effects.
Leave Number of Blocks set at 2.
Note: Setting the Random Seed in step 7 reproduces the exact run order shown in this example. In constructing a design on your own, this step is not necessary.

(Optional) From the Custom Design red triangle menu, select Set Random Seed, type 123, and click OK.

Click Make Design.
Check that Block has been added to the Factors outline and to the Design.

Definitive Screening Design with Block for Extraction Process
At this point, you conduct your experiment and record your data in the Yield column of the design table (Definitive Screening Design with Block for Extraction Process). The Extraction2 Data.jmp sample data table contains your experimental results.

Select Help > Sample Data Library and open Design Experiment/Extraction2 Data.jmp.

In the Entered column in the Current Estimates outline, check the box next to Lot(2-1).
Recall that Lot is a blocking variable. Its purpose is to account for nuisance variation so that you can more clearly see the effects of other factors. For this reason, you want Lot to be part of all models considered by Stepwise. In the next step, you lock the Lot(1-2) term so that it remains in all models fit by Stepwise.
9.
In the Lock column in the Current Estimates outline, check the box next to Lot(2-1).
The check in the box under Entered dims as a reminder that Lot(1-2) is locked into the model.
10.
The Current Estimates report (Current Estimates Report for Stepwise Fit) shows that Stepwise selects a model consisting of the blocking variable, three main effects, a quadratic effect, and an interaction: Lot, Methanol, Ethanol, Time, Methanol*Methanol, and Ethanol*Time.

The Effect Tests report also shows that Lot has the largest Sum of Squares among the model effects. Had it not been included in the model, other effects would not appear significant.
