Response Surface Designs

Abstract : The fitting of first and second degree equations to experimental data in order to summarize the main features of the underlying but unknown mechanism, is a useful and widely used technique. In addition to its interpretive value, it often provides information about the mechanism. Certain ways of obtaining the data are better than others. Criteria for choice of a suitable response surface design, and specific designs that have excellent characteristics with respect to those criteria, are described in this expository article. Various other related features, suggestions for further reading, and a list of basic references are included. (Author)
