Design of Experiment 2
- Chair: John Tyssedal (NTNU)
A protocol for a bio-assay involves a substantial number of steps that may affect the end result. To identify the influential steps, screening experiments can be employed with each step corresponding to a factor and different versions of the step corresponding to factor levels. The designs for such experiments usually include factors with two levels only. Adding a few four-level factors would...
Adhesives are increasingly used in the manufacturing industry because of their desirable characteristics e.g. high strength-to-weight ratio, design flexibility, damage tolerance and fatigue resistance. The manufacturing of adhesive joints involves a complex, multi-stage process in which product quality parameters, such as joint strength and failure mode, are highly impacted by the applied...
Optimal experimental designs are extensively studied in the statistical literature. In this work we focus on the notion of robustness of a design, i.e. the sensitivity of a design to the removal of design points. This notion is particularly important when at the end of the experimental activity the design may be incomplete i.e. response values are not available for all the points of the design...
