Data Entry

Enter, load, or simulate DOE response data on the Data Entry tab of the Easy DOE platform. You can enter responses directly in the columns for the response(s) that you defined on the Define tab.

Tips:

After entering data, Save the entries to your file (File > Save).

Data tables in the Data Entry tab have limited capabilities. Export the data table for full functionality.

To add additional responses, add them on the Define Tab.

Response(s)

The Response side of the data entry table enables you to add the results from your design.

Export Data

Exports the design and responses to a standalone JMP data table.

Load Responses

Load responses from a JMP data table.

Caution: Align the run order in the response table to match the run order in your Easy DOE design.

Design

The Design side of the data entry table displays the design.

Show/Hide simulation panel

(Available only in Guided Mode.) Shows or hides the simulation panel. Use to simulate data for your design. The panel is always open in Flexible Mode.

Simulation Panel

Use the simulation panel to simulate response data for your design. This feature is useful for teaching or to investigate the design for expected data. To specify specific model effects, enter values for the coefficients for each model term and click Simulate Response. Use the Initialize Coefficients button to set all coefficients to the value that you specify in the text box. Use the Random Coefficients button to randomly set coefficients. Click the Simulate Response button to update the simulation.

Note: The Normal Error σ is the anticipated root mean square error.

Advanced Options

Click the gray disclosure icon to show and hide advanced simulation options. For more information about effect sparsity, effect hierarchy, and model heredity see “Principles and Guidelines for Experimental Design”.

Reset Random Seed

Enables you to specify a random seed used in the generation of the random coefficients.

Enforce Effect Sparsity

Enables you to specify the proportion of nonzero main effects (MEs), two-factor interactions (2FIs), and quadratic (Quads) coefficients for the model simulation. Specify a proportion between 0 and 1 for each type of model term.

Enforce Effect Hierarchy

Enables you to set the size of the two-factor interactions (2FIs), and quadratic (Quads) coefficients relative to the main effect coefficients. Specify a relative size between 0 and 1.

Enforce Model Heredity

Enforces model heredity if selected. This means that models include lower-order components of higher-order effects.

Note: After setting advanced options, click the Random Coefficients button to update the coefficients. Then click the Simulate Response button to update the simulated responses.

Factor Plots

The Easy DOE factor plots show each response plotted against each factor. Prior to data entry, the plots show the level of each factor. The Y axis has no values. After data entry, the plots have a line connecting the mean response of each x level.
