how to build an unbalanced split-plot DOE

johnsingh

Hello All,

I am building a DOE with experiments being carried over in two different labs (say, Lab A and . In addition, there is a hard to change variable of temperature. So i decided to make labs as whole plots and temperature as sub plots. This gives me a DOE.

Now i have been told that one of the labs cannot really do all the experiments. In other words, the DOE i got had assigned 50% of experiments to each lab. Is it possible to tweak the design so that, say only 25% of experiments are performed in Lab A and the rest in Lab B.

Will appreciate any help on this.

John

One approach to handle your scenario would be to build a JMP table that represents the number of experiments Lab A and Lab B can handle. Let's say for example 8 for A and 16 for B. Then add a column to that table to create a random number and then sort the table randomized. This table can then be brought into the custom design platform as a covariate and the Temperature made to be the hard to change factor to give your desired experiment to accomodate the Lab experiment constraint.

John,

Have you considered doing all of your experiments in Lab A and then verifying the model from Lab A in Lab B?

We are trying to balance the workload between the two labs.

I would also prefer to get all experiments done in a single lab, but seems unlikely.

Thank you for the response. It makes sense and i will give it a try.
