See how to:
- Understand the restrictions associated with randomization, the difference between blocking and creating plots, and how to incorporate covariates into the design (1:26)
- Blocks are about variance and let you group homogeneous factors to isolate extraneous noise associated with the factors (like time of day)
- Plots address variability and let you organize units so you can estimate the noise/signal associated with factors
- Incorporating covariates (uncontrolled factors related to the experiment and known before the experiment) lets you asses the impact of the related factors
- Understand the factors related to the widget case study where manufacturers add hardening agent to slurry, stir it, control viscosity, mold it and then bake it (7:06)
- Use Custom Designer to incorporate differences related to differences related to the day the experiment runs (8:55)
- See how to group runs into blocks to estimate variability from day to day (Random Effect blocks)
- See how to add Blocking Factor to calculate mean differences from day to day (Fixed Effect blocks)
- Understand the impact of choosing Random vs. Fixed Effects on the number of runs needed for the design.
- Understand why to choose a Split-Plot design to get estimates of signal plus noise
- Use Custom Designer to build Split-Plot design that includes statistics related to interactions between hard-to-change and all other factors (18:28)
- Compare incorrect and correct designs (27:00)
- Examine Fixed Effect Test results
- Understand and compare Split-Split-Plot and two-way Split-Plot (Strip Plot) Designs (30:16)
- Add information about a related factor (covariate) to the model (38:43)
- Handle mis-match between number of covariate observations and number of runs needed
