What inspired this wish list request?
Sometimes when we create DoE and communicate it with experimenters, and discuss its evaluation and go through all the runs/combinations, an SME sees that 1 or more runs could not be done due to some limitations that can not be easily implemented with disallowed filters. Or it can also be that initially there was a capacity to do let's say 16 runs, and we build the DoE which we trust and is the most optimal etc., but due to some last-minute changes in the lab, we have to reduce the DoE to 15 or 14 runs. So we have no time to redo the DoE.
What is the improvement you would like to see?
My idea would be that there was an option to Reduce DoE, in a way contrary to Augment DoE, so that the algorithm would find the least significant n points and remove it from the DoE table. And recreate all the scripts for modeling and design evaluation.
Why is this idea important?
This would be helpful if we need to make last-minute changes to the experiment strategy.
