Mixture Designs

• Mixture designs are used when the experimental variables have additional constraints on them and it is the proportions of the variables that is important, not the absolute amounts

• For example, consider a 6 oz. fish patty that is a comprised of three different types of fish

• The proportions of the fish types affect the texture of the patty

• The goal is to find the proportions of the three fish types that makes a patty with the firmest texture

• Cornell (2002) gives a comprehensive treatment of mixture designs

Robust Designs

• Robust designs are used when we have noise variables - variables that are uncontrollable, difficult to control, or out of our control in practice

• Example: The fish patties are sold to people who cook them. Although recommended temperatures and times are given, we know that not all people follow them exactly

• The goal is to find patties that will have a firm texture throughout a range of temperature / time conditions

• Concepts of robust design were introduced in the United States in the 1980’s by Taguchi

MPV Experiments with Control and Noise Variables

• We could also have controllable processing variables, such as the amount of time the patties are precooked before being packaged and sold

• Standard designs generate blends with simplex or D-optimal designs and look at each blend at all possible combinations of the processing and noise variables (or a carefully chosen subset thereof)

• Steiner and Hamada (1997) address this problem but with different models and without correlation among the noise variables

• Goldfarb, Montgomery, and Borror (2003) uses the model shown here and considers correlation

Page 6: Three-Dimensional Variance Dispersion Graphs for Mixture-Process Experiments with Control and Noise Variables Heidi B. Goldfarb – The Dial Corporation.

Basic Problem

• What blend of fish and pre-cooking time will be “best” under a wide range of temperature and time?

• What type of experimental designs can help find this combination?

• Which designs will build prediction models with the smallest variation?

Prediction Variance

• For a given design, the standardized prediction variance at a given point, x0, is:

• The scaled version (SPV) allows for fair comparisons among designs with different numbers of runs:

Mean and Slope Variance Models

• Borror, Montgomery, and Myers (2002) develop mean and slope prediction models for RSM designs with noise variables

• The mean model variance assesses the prediction error variance taking in to account both model errors and the variation transmitted through the noise variables

• The slope model variance measures the precision of the variance of the full model

Prediction Variance for MPV Designs with Control and Noise Variables

• Recall the model:

• The prediction variance for the mean model is:

where C is inverse (X*´X*) matrix and X* is the full model form matrix with x, w, and z terms

Mean Model

• We divide by σ2 and multiply by N to allow for comparisons of designs, including those with different numbers of runs

k2a and k2b represent the interaction between the mixture-noise and mixture-control-noise variables, respectively

it= k2a and ipt= k2b.

Slope Model

• For the slope model we need to look at the partial derivative of the model with respect to each of the noise variables. For our model this derivative is:

Variance Dispersion Graphs

• Prediction variances can be examined with variance dispersion graphs (VDGs), first introduced by Giovannitti-Jensen, A. and Myers, R. H. (1989)

• They plot contains max. variance, average variance, and min. variance versus the distance from the center of the design space

• Piepel, G., Anderson, C. M, and Redgate, P. E (1993) extended the use of VDGs to irregular regions

• VDGs allow us to compare designs to see which have the best overall variance properties over the entire design space

Three-Dimensional VDGs

• Plot the prediction variance by the distances from the centers of the mixture and process spaces

• Distances of 0 signify the center while distances of 1 represent the edges of the spaces

• These graphs allow comparisons among designs and evaluation of the relative increases in prediction as the experimenter moves along both spaces, mixture and process

• Can be used to assess the optimum placement for additional runs

• For the robust design setting, the plots can be done for varying k2a and k2b levels

Fish Patty Example

• Consider the fish patty example with 3 fish types, deep fry time, baking time, and baking temperature

• Initially, consider all of the process variables as controllable, giving the following 28-term model:

Fish Patty Designs

• Six designs of sizes 28 to 40 runs are considered

• Two designs are from Cornell and Gorman and were constructed to minimize the size of the confidence intervals of the model coefficients

• The other 4 designs are from Design-Expert and were constructed to be D-efficient

• The DX6 designs with an “A” had the extra degrees of freedom split between lack-of-fit and replication

• The other DX6 designs had all of the degrees of freedom allocated to lack-of-fit

• Consider a setting with three mixture components and two controllable process variables (Kowalski, Cornell, and Vining (2000)) with the following 15-term model:

• We consider six competing designs – two with 17 runs, three with 23 runs, and one with 25 runs

• Extra runs beyond those for model fit were allocated differently for each design

Fish Patty Designs

• Three designs are being considered

• Design A - The 56-run design from Cornell (2002) which is a 7-run simplex-centroid in the mixture components crossed with an 8-run full factorial in the process and noise variables

• Design B - A 56-run design generated with the D-optimal design generator in Design-Expert 6.0 with 10 lack-of-fit points and 10 pure replicate points

• Design C - A 36-run design generated with the D-optimal design generator in Design-Expert 6.0 with no lack-of-fit points or pure replicate points

• The 3D VDGs show that Design C is the best from a scaled prediction variance standpoint

Conclusions

• 3D VDG’s allow an experimenter to look at the prediction variance profiles of designs in both the mixture and process spaces simultaneously

• The plots can be used to compare designs and to determine the placement of additional runs

• Noise variables can be handled by looking at a grid of plots
