Hello - This was briefly answered in another question, but it was suggested that I put it as another question.
I am also using two different heat treatments (microwave and thermal), which normally would be fine as a categorical variable, but there is also a switch of a second factor associated with the different levels of the "heat treatment type" factor: Microwave makes more sense to control the "power input" as an additional factor, while thermal makes more sense to use the "temperature" set point as a factor. My two options as I see it are to do a few different DoE's, one for microwave, the other for thermal; or I could bite the bullet and use the microwave temperature set point, even though the temperature will not be constant during the run, due to exothermic/endothermic reactions while the solid material is nuked. I assume JMP doesn't handle this kind of situation and wondered if anyone had suggestions.
