Three plasticizers (p1, p2, and p3) comprise 79.5% of the vinyl used for automobile seat covers (Cornell, 1990). Within this 79.5%, the individual plasticizers are restricted by the following constraints: 0.409 ≤ x1 ≤ 0.849, 0 ≤ x2 ≤ 0.252, and 0.151 ≤ x3 ≤ 0.274. Cornell uses a 14-run design to fit a quadratic mixture model to the collected responses. The design is a 3-degree extreme vertices design with replicate measurements taken at the four vertices and the overall centroid.
