Description
A computing system generates a subset of design cases of candidate design cases. The system indexes, in the subset, data elements. The system generates a design of an experiment by, for each respective data element, determining a status indicating whether the respective data element corresponds to an uncontrolled factor or a controlled factor. When the status indicates the uncontrolled factor, the system determines if substituting a respective set of specified options of a respective candidate design case comprising the respective data element with a different set of specified options of the candidate design cases improves a criterion measure according to a design criterion. When the status indicates the controlled factor, the system determines if changing an assigned option of the respective data element improves the criterion measure. The system updates the criterion measure with an updated criterion measure according to a change of the subset based on generating the design.
