Adding and Editing Design Points

Adding Design Points

In any design, you can add points using the Edit menu. You can specify how many points to add and how to do so: optimally, randomly, or at specified values.

To add optimal, custom, or random points:

  1. Select Edit > Add Point or click the button. A dialog box appears, as shown following.

  2. Choose an augmentation method from the drop-down menu: optimal (D,V, or A), random, or user-specified.

      Note   You can add points optimally to any design based on a linear or multilinear model, as long as it has the minimum number of points required to fit that model. This means that after adding a constraint you might remove so many points that a subsequent replace operation does not allow optimal addition.

  3. Choose the number of points to add, using the buttons or typing into the edit box. For user-specified custom points, you also enter the values of each factor for each point you want to add.

  4. If you choose an optimal augmentation method and click Edit, the Candidate Set dialog box appears, as shown in the following example. Here you can edit the ranges and levels of each factor and which generation algorithm to use. These are the same controls you see on the Candidate Set tab of the Optimal Design dialog box.

  5. Click OK to add the points and return to the main display.

Editing Design Points

To edit particular points,

  1. Right-click the title bar of one of the Design Editor views and select Current View > Design Table to change to the Table view. This gives a numbered list of every point in the design, so you can see where points are in the design.

  2. To edit points, click to select table cells and type new values. You can also right-click table cells and select Copy or Paste. You can click and drag to select multiple cells to copy or paste.
