Configuring the Postprocessing Information

You can specify the actions that you want Isight to take after running your set of experiments.

  1. From the DOE Component WebTop Editor, click the Postprocessing tab.

  2. Determine the output parameters that you want to use as responses by selecting the corresponding check boxes in the first column.

    Tip: Alternatively, you can click Check All to add all parameters. To clear all the parameters, click Check None. In addition, if you are selecting an array parameter, you can click Check All in the first column to select all elements of the array parameter. To clear all selected elements, click Check None.

    If you select an array as a response, a single quantity represents the array in the model and it will be expanded during execution to define a response for each element in the array. You can override the attributes for each individual element by selecting them separately.

    Note: While the number of response quantities specified has no affect on the cost of executing the experiments and only slightly affects the cost of analyzing results, you must be careful to focus on key quantities that directly relate to the performance/quality of the product to specify as responses. This action eases the interpretation of results in making design decisions.

  3. Specify an objective (minimize, maximize, or target) and any appropriate weighting factor in the corresponding columns.

    You can use this option to screen for the most influential factors and to estimate an optimal design. It is also used to determine the “best” point of all the designs executed.

  4. Set the following post-execution options:

    Option Description
    Calculate basic statistics This option calculates the minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, and range of all the data for each factor or response.
    Perform regression analysis This option performs linear regression analysis to determine the main effects of each factor on each response.
