The next set in our series of DoE Tipsheets is now available. This new set deals with Augmenting for Optimization. Augmenting of designs for optimization helps you to remove unlikely terms and reduce the required number of runs. It can also repair faulty designs. This is a very versatile augmentation tool within Design Expert DX7^TM, but one that you must handle with care. The tipsheets contain tips and reminders for those who've attended our DoE workshops - and new readers may also find something useful.

The next set in our series of DoE Tipsheets is now available. This new set deals with Augmenting for De-aliasing. The tipsheets cover how to approach Foldover (Red), Semi-foldover (Yellow) and Factorial D-optimal Augmentation in order to De-alias Effects using Design Expert DX7^TM. They contain tips and reminders for those who've attended our DoE workshops - and new readers may also find something useful.
