Hi JMP ers,
I have 4 factors and try to make a model with main effects, interactions, 2nd order and 3rd order power.
I make design with recomended optimality criteria. When i checked color map correlations i can always see x1 and x1*x1*x1 correlation near to 1. How can make a DOE that does not have this problem?
Assuming you have 4 factors at 4 levels, when using the Customer Design platform, in the Model, highlight the effects you want. If it says If Possible, you can change that to Necessary.
Ella,
What you are seeing is a result of the coding of values for the factors. -1^3 = -1, 1^3 = 1
So if you use "actual values" you will see the correlation matrix without those terms correlated.
i got same picture with real values :(
correlation between
x1, x1*x1*x1 - 0.92
x2, x2*x2*x2 - 0.93 etc.
The X^3 vs X plot has a correlation of 0.916 and the density ellipse is elongated. Find 4 points on that curve that are not correlated. I don't think you can do it. Those terms will always be correlated.
For a contrast, I have also included a plot of X^2 vs. X. The correlation is -0.019 and the density ellipse is almost circular. You can get correlations close to zero between these terms.
I'm sorry, my understanding is that you will always get that correlation due to the coding that goes on "behind the scenes". What I meant to say, AFAIK, the x and x^3 will actually not be correlated if the appropriate designs selected and the actual values are used. The correlation matrix will always show the correlation due to the coding.
Coding is actually used to REDUCE collinearity. But coding can only do so much. My graphs may not be the best way to illustrate, but consider this:
X1 X1^2 X1^3
100 10000 1000000
100 10000 1000000
200 40000 8000000
200 40000 8000000
150 22500 3375000
There is a correlation between X1 and X1^2 (0.997). But if you code to -1, +1, the correlation will drop to 0. This does not happen when cubing because, as you pointed out, -1^3 = +1 and +1^3 = 1, but the correlation on the original scale is large, too.
