8Response Surface Modeling with Constrained Systems

 “Every model is an approximation …. Don’t fall in love with a model.”

George E. P. Box, J. Stuart Hunter, and William G.  Hunter

Overview

In this part of the book, we have been discussing formulation experiments whose components are subject to single and multiple component constraints. After examining our formulation development strategy, we discussed screening experiments in the previous chapter. Now we discuss how to study further and optimize the critical components identified in the screening experiments. We focus on optimization of five-component systems. The methodology is appropriate for four- and six-component systems as well. In general, when six or more components are involved we ...
