Can JMP produce a graph to visually represent an experiment design?

[#1]

Is there any way JMP is able to produce a visual representation of a DoE?

Hi @sanch1 ,

  Yes, JMP can do this using the Graph > Scatterplot 3D platform. Below is an example with only three factors on a face-centered CCD design, where the rows have been colored in a similar way as your example. Now, if you want to draw the box and lines on top of this, it's a little more complicated (you could do it manually or do it via JSL). If you're only showing it as an example of what the DOE space looks like, I wouldn't bother and just show your example, as often times it's not that important to show exact numbers, conveying the concept of the DOE design is frequently more important.

  Does this answer your question?

Hi @sanch1 ,

To add on to @SDF1 's comments, I always like to show the 'faces' of the design using the 2D scatterplots too, sometimes people can struggle with understanding the design in 3D space, so having both of these can help. Here's an example using the Scatterplot (Graph>Scatterplot), just put X1,X2 in 'X', X2,X3 in 'Y' and then select the X2*X2 scatterplot and 'Hide' using the Properties option.

Hi @sanch1 ,

  I fully agree with what @Ben_Ingham said about representing more complex DOEs in 2D (imagine if you had 6 or 20+ factors to deal with!). 3D is nice and all, and can sometimes be a fancy graphic to add, but it can also distract from the real message that's trying to be conveyed. Something that I would say should always be near the top of the list (if maybe not #1) is effectively getting the message across. Making sure your audience fully understands the message is critical, and doing that with the simplest graphics as possible is often better. Complex graphics can look cool, but can also have too much going on, resulting in the audience not really grasping the message you're trying to deliver.

Good luck!,
