Hello,
I was hoping someone could please help confirm a detail related to specifying the number of replicate runs within the Custom Design platform for creating a DOE. As a novice JMP user, I was originally thinking that when you enter a number for the "Number of Replicate Runs" field, you're specifying how many different runs you want to have replicates for. As an example, if you type "1" into that field, you're allowing JMP to select only 1 run that will have replicates. However, after trying this several times, this doesn't seem to be true.
I *think* "Number of Replicate Runs" may actually be instructing JMP to use this user-specified number for any number of runs within the design space (this is determined by JMP via its design algorithm). For example, if you type "1" in this field, you're allowing JMP to use 1 replicate (or "duplicates") for any number of runs depending on your design inputs (i.e. mainly how many factors you're studying and if you're interested in interaction and/or quadratic effects). If you were to type "2", you're essentially allowing JMP to make any number of triplicate runs (aka 2 replicates) that obviously fit within the desired design space and its algorithm. Could this be confirmed?
Thank you! (Using JMP 17.0.0)
