Quickly Communicating DoE to Subject Matter Experts
Authors: Matthew Barsalou (BorgWarner Turbo Systems Engineering GmbH)
Primary area of focus / application: Design and analysis of experiments
Keywords: Design of Experiments, Fractional factorial, Terminology, Basics
There may be problems when discussing a DoE with a subject matter expert who lacks a basic understanding of DoE. A subject matter expert may not need to know the word “response variable”; however, if they don’t understand the concept, they can’t help to identify the correct response variable for a DoE.
This talk will present a simple concept for teaching engineers and other subject matter experts the basic concepts needed for them to contribute to a DoE. It will include explanations for factors, response variable, levels, experimental runs, blocking, randomization and resolution that are easy to communicate to those without a background in DoE and will also explain how to give a one minute DoE “elevator speech” using a paper helicopter. -
Mosaic Plots for Visualizing Confounding Properties of Factorial Designs
Authors: Ulrike Grömping (Beuth Hochschule für Technik Berlin)
Primary area of focus / application: Design and analysis of experiments
Keywords: Factorial experiment, Confounding, Design of Experiments, Mosaic plot
Mosaic plots are a tool for visualizing the structure of multidimensional frequency tables. They are usually attributed to Hartigan and Kleiner (1981 and 1984) and have met with increased attention lately (e.g. Hofmann 2003, Wickham and Hofmann 2011). A frequency table of several factors in a factorial design captures the confounding structure among these factors. This talk proposes to use mosaic plots of such frequency tables for visualizing the degree of confounding. Mosaic plots are particularly useful for design and analysis of orthogonal main effects plans, which are usually of resolution III only.
The plots are available in open source software: the R package DoE.base (Grömping 2013) creates them, based on the R-package vcd (Meyer and Hornik 2006).
