Design Matrix (For Design of Experiments)
Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2021 1:41 pm
Has anyone looked at creating a Module for creating a design matrix?
I currently teach a Ontario, Canada College Statistics course for Chemical Engineers on Design of Experiments using Minitab. The students start the course at about two-sample t tests, and work up to fractional factorial and surface response designs. In theory a Design Matrix is a simple thing to create, but having the software create one and handle some of the analysis means the students can focus on understanding, and less on equations and data entry. I could also give out pre-created files to the students, but I feel I would be teaching them to follow directions, no solve problems.
It's also entirely possible there are different/better names for all of these, and I'm not already seeing them built in.
Here is a demo of how Minitab handles these functions
