Classical Screening design vs Definitive Screening Design

[#1]

Hi All,

Anyone can give me a summary of difference between a classical screening design and DSD? What are the advantages and disadvantages between this two methods

Thanks Jim

DSDs are really somewhere between a screening and an RSM.  The general idea is you can screen a large number of factors and still fit a decent response surface to the active effects in one very efficient design.  The drawback is that they are far less trivial to analyze.  Over the last several years, a lot of work has been done on how to best analyze DSDs, and JMP has a dedicated analysis platform for DSDs now.  It would be worthwhile to study up on that methodology using the links @txnelson provided, as well as Brad Jones' talk at the most recent JMP Discovery.

Classical screening focuses on designs with 2-level factors to determine active main effects, usually 2-factor interactions, and sometimes higher order interactions.  You can add center points to detect curvature, but you cannot model the resulting curvature because the source of the curvature is ambiguous with multiple continuous factors.  The benefit is they are very easy to analyze.

Hello Cameron,

Thank you for you reply

When yu are saying that JMP has a dedicated platform for DSD what do you mean by that?Where can i get this option from?

DSD is available from the pull down menus

BTW, Brad Jones, the co inventor of DSD, is a long time employee with JMP

Hello Jim,

Is this how we analyze the DSD table?

If you already have a defined DSD, and you are just looking to analyze the data, the answer is yes.  If you need to setup a DSD, then you would select Definitive Screening Design.

Full documentation on this is covered in the DOE Guide.  See:

Thanks jim, does it mean that DSD is the way to go as opposed to the classical screening design?

yes........
