Custom Designs

Construct Designs That Meet Your Needs

Use the Custom Design platform to construct optimal designs that are custom built for your specific experimental setting. Generally, a custom design is more cost-effective than a design obtained using alternative methods. You can perform the following tasks:

Enter factors of many different types.

Specify constraints on the design space.

Indicate which effects are necessary to estimate and which are desirable to estimate, if possible, given the number of runs.

Specify a number of experimental runs that matches your budget.

The Custom Design platform constructs a wide variety of designs, including these special design types: Screening, Response Surface, Mixture, Random Block, Split Plot, Split-Split-Plot, and Two-Way Split Plot.

This chapter contains a detailed example of how to use the Custom Design platform, followed by information about the platform. See also Examples of Custom Designs.
