Options¶
This page is the control by control reference for the pages the Create Design builder shows for this design. What the design is and what it gives you is on N-Level Factorial Design. How each number is produced is on Math Details.
The pages¶
Same three pages as the 3-level factorial, and the same first page does the counting and the naming together.
| Page heading | What it asks |
|---|---|
| Enter factor names and factor levels | Select number of factors:, then one row per factor, left to right: its name, its # Levels, a Categorical checkbox, and one Level n column per level |
| Define outputs (responses) | the responses and the design format |
| Enter number of replicates and number of blocks | replicates and blocking |
Set # Levels per factor and the level columns appear or disappear to match. The level values are whatever you type, numeric for a quantitative factor and names for a categorical one.
Both counts are capped. A factor takes 2 to 100 levels, and anything outside that is refused with Number of levels must be between 2 and 100. The factor list runs to 15.
No center points and no folding, for the same reasons as the 3-level design. Add/Remove Center Points refuses with center points are not available for the General Factorial design.
