SAS Institute. The Power to Know

Getting Started with the SAS(R) 9.2 ADX Interface for Design of Experiments


Overview of ADX

Design Objectives

Designs offered by ADX can be used to achieve specific experimental objectives, as shown in Table 2.1.

Table 2.1: Design Types and Their Objectives
Design Type Model Objective
Two-level screeningIdentify factors of greatest impact on response
Response surfaceModel curvature effects
MixtureModel effects that are components of a blend
Mixed levelModel with two- and three-level, mixed quantitative and qualitative factors
OptimalModel with D- and A-optimal designs for irregular design regions
Split-plotModel effects where some levels are hard to change
General factorialModel with full factorial designs and factors with several levels
