Docs: Designs

Thu, 05 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

This table shows the designs you have saved or purchased. A saved design just includes the specifications of a design that you are interested in. These can be deleted. Any purchased design is automatically added to the table. A purchased design cannot be deleted. You can always edit the name and description of a design in My library.

Docs: Catalog searches

Thu, 05 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

This table shows which filterings of the catalog you saved for your research questions. The saved filterings make it easy to continue your search for the best designs.

Docs: Saved Data sets

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Under the Data sets tab, the user will find a list of all data sets previously saved in the software.

To review a specific dataset and any of its associated modeling results, click on the line in the table that corresponds to the dataset of interest. Selecting the appropriate dataset will take the user to a new page with more details concerning the modeling.

Dataset modeling info

In this new page, if the modeling calculations for this dataset have already been requested, there will appear a box as follows:

The last column Status indicates an update on the modeling calculations. If it mentions IN PROGRESS, then this means that the calculations are still running, and if it mentions FINISHED, then the calculations are complete.

If no modeling calculations are requested for this dataset, then a Go to modeling button will appear.

Select models

When the calculations are completed, another table will appear in the same page which indicates any selected model for each of the responses. Here is an example.

The modeling calculations result in a wide range of models for each response. From the resulting set of models for a given response variable, a model can be selected. To do so, click on

Doing so, will take the user to the Modeling results page.

Docs: Calculations

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

In this tab, a table is provided, which displays one entry for each calculation that is requested in the software. Here is an example of such a table.

In the software, primarily, there are two tasks that require calculations. These are:

Generating optimal designs
The software allows the user to generate optimal designs. When the user has started such a calculation, a record of this request will be presented in the table. If the user has requested such an optimal design, then the corresponding entry in the table will have the type ‘optimal’ mentioned in column one. If the user has requested an optimal design with at least one factor whose reset difficulty is set to hard, then the corresponding entry in the table will have the type ‘split-plot’ mentioned in column one. The table also provides the number of factors specified for the design generation in column 6.
Perform modeling on a dataset
The software allows the user to perform modeling calculations on the datasets that are uploaded. When the user has started such a calculation, a record of this request will be presented in the table with the type ‘modeling’ mentioned in column one. The name of the corresponding dataset is also mentioned in the table in column two. In the last two columns, the number of factors and responses that are specified in the provided dataset is given.

The table also provides information on when the calculations were requested and the duration it took to complete the calculations.

Note: Once a calculation has been requested, there may be a small delay in displaying its corresponding entry in this table.
