Questions about "number of starts" and "search time"
Could anyone help me understand "number of starts" and "search time"? 1. Will increase "number of starts" or use much longer "search time" provide a better optimal design?2. What is a good guess for "number of starts"? i.e., let us say a split-plot design with 5 whole plots and 25 subplots. Thanks!
