Click RSM.
Quadratic and interactions terms for X1 and X2 are added to the model. Because you added RSM terms, the Recommended optimality criterion changes from D-Optimal to I-Optimal. You can see this later in the Design Diagnostics outline.
Note: Setting the Random Seed in step 6 and Number of Starts in step 7 reproduces the exact results shown in this example. In constructing a design on your own, these steps are not necessary.

Open the Fraction of Design Space Plot outline.
The Fraction of Design Space Plot appears on the left in Figure 4.44. When the Fraction of Space is 0.95, the vertical coordinate of the blue curve is about 0.5. This means that for about 95% of the design space, the relative prediction variance is below 50% of the error variance.

Figure 4.43 Prediction Variance Profile for D-Optimal Model
At the center of the design region, the relative prediction variance is 0.53562, as compared to 0.208333 for the I-optimal design (Figure 4.41). This means that the relative standard error is 0.732 for the D-optimal design and 0.456 for the I-optimal design. All else being equal, at the center of the design region, confidence intervals for the expected response based on the D-optimal design are about 60% wider than those based on the I-optimal design.
The Design outline shows that the D-optimal design has nine design points, one for every combination of X1 and X2 set to -1, 0, 1. The D-optimality criterion attempts to keep the relative prediction variance low at each of these design points. Explore the variance at the extremes of the design region by moving the sliders for X1 and X2 to -1 and 1. Note that the variance at these extreme points is usually smaller than the variance for the I-optimal design at these points.
