Screening Design Options
The Screening Design red triangle menu contains the following options:
Save Responses
Saves the information in the Responses panel to a new data table. This data table is locked to prevent unintended changes to the responses. Use this table to load the responses and their associated information into most designs. Use the Load and Edit table script to relaunch the designer to make changes to the responses or unlock the data table to manually change responses.
Load Responses
Opens a window that enables you to load your DOE responses from a specified data table. The Select Data Table window includes an option to erase the existing responses in your design. This option is checked by default, but you can uncheck the option to append responses to your design. A response data table has a row for each response and columns for each factor property. Generate a response table using the Save Responses option.
Save Factors
Saves the information in the Factors panel to a new data table. Each factor’s column contains its levels. Other information is stored as column properties. This data table is locked to prevent unintended changes to the factors. Use this table to load the factors and their associated information into most designs. Use the Load and Edit table script to relaunch the designer to make changes to the responses or unlock the data table to manually change responses.
Load Factors
Opens a window that enables you to load your DOE factors from a specified data table. The Select Data Table window includes an option to erase the existing factors in your design. This option is checked by default, but you can uncheck the option to append factors to your design. A factor data table has a column for each factor and rows for each level of the factor. Factor columns need the Design Role column property defined. Generate a factor table using the Save Factors option. If you load factors that are inconsistent with a design type, an alert appears.
Save Constraints
(Not available for some designs.) Saves factor constraints that you defined in the Define Factor Constraints or Linear Constraints outline into a data table, with a column for each constraint. You can then quickly load the constraints into most DOE windows.
In the constraint table, the first rows contain the coefficients for each factor. The last row contains the inequality bound. Each constraint’s column contains a column property called ConstraintState that identifies the constraint as a “less than” or a “greater than” constraint. See “ConstraintState”.
Load Constraints
(Not available for some designs.) Loads factor constraints from a data table. Generate a constraints table using the Save Constraints option.
Set Random Seed
Sets the random seed that JMP uses to control actions that have a random component. These actions include one or more of the following:
– initializing search algorithms for design generation
– randomizing Run Order for design construction
– selecting a starting design for designs based on random starts
To reproduce a design, enter the random seed that generated the design before clicking Make Design.
The random seed associated with a design is included in the DOE Dialog script that is saved to the design data table.
Simulate Responses
Adds simulated response values and a column containing a simulation formula to the design table. Select this option before you click Make Table.
When you click Make Table, the following occur:
– A set of simulated response values is added to each response column.
– For each response, a new column that contains a simulation model formula is added to the design table. The formula is based on the model that is specified in the design window. For a definitive screening design the model is based on the main effects model.
– A Model window appears that enables you to set the values of the model coefficients, set model rules, and specify a distribution for the simulation. For definitive screening designs there is a section where you can add terms to the model. Three distributions are available: Normal, Binomial, or Poisson. Select the distribution based on your response (continuous, dichotomous, or count).
Note: Not all distributions are available for all design types.
– A script called DOE Simulate is saved to the design table. This script reopens the Model window, enabling you to re-simulate values or to make changes to the simulated response distribution.
For additional details, see “Simulate Responses”.
Note: 
You can use Simulate Responses to conduct simulation analyses using the JMP Pro Simulate feature. For more information and DOE examples, see “Simulate” in Basic Analysis.
Save X Matrix
Saves the Moments Matrix and Model Matrix to table scripts in the design data table. These scripts contain the moments and design matrices. See “Save X Matrix”.
Caution: For a design with nominal factors, the Model Matrix saved by the Save X Matrix option is not the coding matrix used in fitting the linear model. You can obtain the coding matrix used for fitting the model by selecting the option Save Columns > Save Coding Table in the Fit Model report that you obtain when you run the Model script
Suppress Cotter Designs
Excludes Cotter designs from the Design List. This option is selected by default. Deselect it to show Cotter designs in the Design List.
Note: You can set a preference to always show Cotter designs. Select File > Preferences > Platforms > DOE and deselect Suppress Cotter Designs.
Number of Starts
(Available only for Main Effects Screening Designs.) Specify the maximum number of times that the algorithm regenerates entire designs from scratch, attempting to optimize the final design.
Design Search Time
(Available only for Main Effects Screening Designs.) Specify the maximum number of seconds spent searching for a design. The default search time is 15 seconds.
If the iterations of the algorithm require more than a few seconds, a Computing Design progress window appears. The progress bar displays Chi2 Efficiency. See Chi-Square Efficiency. If you click Cancel in the progress window, the calculation stops and gives the best design found at that point.
Note: You can set a preference for Design Search Time. Select File > Preferences > Platforms > DOE. Select Design Search Time and enter the maximum number of seconds. If an orthogonal array is found, the search terminates. In certain situations where more time is required, JMP automatically extends the search time.
Number of Column Starts
(Available only for Main Effects Screening Designs.) Specify the maximum number of times that the algorithm attempts to optimize a given column before moving on to constructing the next column. The default number of column starts is 50. See Main Effects Screening Designs.
Save Script to Script Window
Creates the script for the design that you specified in the Screening Design window and places it in an open script window.
