Software source code
Use R to estimate the DOE model
T <- c(-1, +1, -1, +1) # centered and scaled temperature
S <- c(-1, -1, +1, +1) # centered and scaled substrate concentration
y <- c(69, 60, 64, 53) # conversion is the response, y
mod <- lm(y ~ T + S + T * S)
summary(mod)
Call:
lm(formula = y ~ T + S + T * S)
Residuals:
ALL 4 residuals are 0: no residual degrees of freedom!
Coefficients:
Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) 61.5 NA NA NA
T -5.0 NA NA NA
S -3.0 NA NA NA
T:S -0.5 NA NA NA
Residual standard error: NaN on 0 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared: 1, Adjusted R-squared: NaN
F-statistic: NaN on 3 and 0 DF, p-value: NA
You could also use MATLAB if you prefer:
% Set up the X matrix:
n = 4;
temperature = [-1, +1, -1, +1];
substrate = [-1, -1, +1, +1];
X = [ ones(n, 1), temperature', substrate', (temperature .* substrate)'];
% or you can type it in directly (but this is error prone)
X = [+1 -1 -1 +1; ...
+1 +1 -1 -1; ...
+1 -1 +1 -1; ...
+1 +1 +1 +1];
% Conversion is your y-variable
y = [69, 60, 64, 53]';
% Regression coefficients = b = [Intercept, b_T, b_S, b_{TS}]
b = inv(X'*X)*X'*y
3-factor example <rst> <rst-options: 'toc' = False/> The data are from a plastics molding factory which must treat its waste before discharge. The :math:`y` variable represents the average amount of pollutant discharged [lb per day], while the 3 factors that were varied were:
- :math:`C`: the chemical compound added [A or B]
- :math:`T`: the treatment temperature [72°F or 100°F] - :math:`S`: the stirring speed [200 rpm or 400 rpm] - :math:`y`: the amount of pollutant discharged [lb per day]

We showed the cube plot for this system in the class on 10 March. From the cube plot we could already see the main factors, and even the **CS** interaction was noticeable.
- **C effect**: There are 4 estimates of :math:`C = \displaystyle \frac{(+25) + (+27) + (-1) + (-1)}{4} = \frac{50}{4} = \bf{12.5}`
- **T effect**: There are 4 estimates of :math:`T = \displaystyle \frac{(+1) + (+3) + (+1) + (+1)}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \bf{1.5}`
- **S effect**: There are 4 estimates of :math:`S = \displaystyle \frac{(-27) + (-1) + (-29) + (-1)}{4} = \frac{-58}{4} = \bf{-14.5}`
- **CT interaction**: There are 2 estimates of :math:`CT`. Recall that interactions are calculated as the half difference going from high to low. Consider the change in :math:`C` when
- :math:`T_\text{high}` (at :math:`S` high) = 4 - 5 = -1 - :math:`T_\text{low}` (at :math:`S` high) = 3 - 4 = -1 - First estimate = [(-1) - (-1)]/2 = 0 - :math:`T_\text{high}` (at :math:`S` low) = 33 - 6 = +27 - :math:`T_\text{low}` (at :math:`S` low) = 30 - 5 = +25 - Second estimate = [(+27) - (+25)]/2 = +1
- Average **CT** interaction = (0 + 1)/2 = **0.5** - You can interchange :math:`C` and :math:`T` and still get the same result.
- **CS interaction**: There are 2 estimates of :math:`CS`. Consider the change in :math:`C` when
- :math:`S_\text{high}` (at :math:`T` high) = 4 - 5 = -1 - :math:`S_\text{low}` (at :math:`T` high) = 33 - 6 = +27 - First estimate = [(-1) - (+27)]/2 = -14 - :math:`S_\text{high}` (at :math:`T` low) = 3 - 4 = -1 - :math:`S_\text{low}` (at :math:`T` low) = 30 - 5 = +25 - Second estimate = [(-1) - (+25)]/2 = -13
- Average **CS** interaction = (-13 - 14)/2 = **-13.5** - You can interchange :math:`C` and :math:`S` and still get the same result.
- **ST interaction**: There are 2 estimates of :math:`ST`: (-1 + 0)/2 = **-0.5**, calculate in the same way as above.
- **CTS interaction**: There is only a single estimate of :math:`CTS`:
- :math:`CT` effect at high :math:`S` = 0 - :math:`CT` effect at low :math:`S` = +1 - :math:`CTS` interaction = [(0) - (+1)] / 2 = **-0.5**
- You can calculate this also by considering the :math:`CS` effect at the two levels of :math:`T` - Or, you can calculate this by considering the :math:`ST` effect at the two levels of :math:`C`. - All 3 approaches give the same result.
Next, use computer software to verify that
.. math::
y = 11.25 + 6.25x_C + 0.75x_T -7.25x_S + 0.25 x_C x_T -6.75 x_C x_S -0.25 x_T x_S - 0.25 x_C x_T x_S
The :math:`\mathbf{X}` matrix and :math:`\mathbf{y}` vector used to calculate the least squares model:
.. math::
\begin{bmatrix} 5\\30\\6\\33\\4\\3\\5\\4 \end{bmatrix} &= \begin{bmatrix} +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & -1\\ +1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & +1\\ +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1\\ +1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1\\ +1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & +1\\ +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1\\ +1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1\\ +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1\\ \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} b_0 \\ b_C \\ b_T \\ b_{S} \\ b_{CT} \\ b_{CS} \\ b_{TS} \\ b_{CTS} \end{bmatrix} \\ \mathbf{y} &= \mathbf{X} \mathbf{b} </rst>
