3Experimental Designs for Formulations

“Experiment... day and night. Experiment and it will lead you to the light.”

Cole Porter

Overview

We have seen how the experimental regions and models for experiments with formulations differ from traditional approaches involving unconstrained variables. In this chapter we review basic experimental designs that are most frequently used in practice, such as those based on the simplex. In the next chapter, we review basic models used to analyze data from these types of experiments. In subsequent chapters, we will present designs and models for more complex situations, such as with constrained components, or experiments with both formulation and process variables.
