What functional forms are used by JMP for the desirability criteria

[#1]

Hi!

I have read that JMP does not use the Derringer and Suich (1980) functions to model the desirability function. How is the desirability function in JMP mathematically expressed to maximise one response and minimise another? I'd like to include this in the methods explanation of my work.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @aaidaa,

Have you read the documentation related to Construction of Desirability Functions ?

"The individual desirability functions [...] are smooth piecewise functions that pass through three defining points. These points are called control points (Low, Middle, High) and can be used to interactively control the shape of the desirability function."

The optimization algorithm choice is also explained depending on the factors type and presence of constraints.

Hope this answer may help you,
