Historical Designs
Historical designs allow the experimenter to paste data in from a previous experiment or survey.
Enter the number of rows (at the bottom of the screen) to create a blank spreadsheet. Paste the existing data set into the blank spreadsheet column for column.
Mixture Components: How many components are involved in this experiment?
Note
Fillers may be components too unless their proportion of the mixture is held constant.
Note
Components that will remain a constant proportion of the total can be added to the design by setting the low and high limits to the same value.
Total: The sum of all the components must equal the total for all runs.
Units: (optional) All components must use the same units of measurement.
Note
Common units of measure include direct amounts (mass or volume), weight %, % volume by weight, and molecular equivalents.
Name: Provide names for the components to help with later documentation
Low: The lowest value a component can take (often zero).
High: The highest value a component can take (no larger than the Total)
