To enter the Create RSM panel, select the item Assessment|Design Space|Open RSM Panel
from the main menu or click on the Response Surface Method (RSM) icon
.
The Response Surface Panel is split into three parts:
on the upper left the
Base RSM
Tree and
Advanced RSM Tree
containing all the
RSM algorithms.
on the lower left the Output Variables Tree with the all the
output variables and the associated
RSM functions generated.
on the right the Output Variable pull down list
and the panel associated to the
RSM algorithm selected.
The user, can move up and down the horizontal divider (or left and right the vertical divider) to resize these three components.
To create a RSM function the user has to:
Select a specific table, which contains the designs to be fitted, from the Table selected list on the upper right panel.
Select a specific output variable from the Output Variables list on the upper right panel.
Select a specific Response Surface Method from RSM Algorithm list on the lower right panel.
Clicking on the button. Depending on the RSM Algorithm selected from the list, extra input can be specified on the RSM properties panel. New RSM will be associated with the variable selected.
At any time, during the RSM creation, the user can stop the run of a RSM Algorithm by clicking on the button and confirming with button.
During the RSM function creation the Design Space Log contains a list of messages or errors generated by the response surfaces methods. Typical messages are: algorithm type, training set size, duplicate design rejections, possible outliers for Chauvenet criterion and any other suggestions for a better tuning of the selected RSM.
Selecting the
Output Variable Tree it
opens the RSM Function Panel: this panel shows all the RSM function associated
to that specific output variable.
In the RSM Functions Panel it is possible to delete the functions just selecting them and clicking on the button. The system will prompt for a delete confirmation.
Right mouse clicking on a
RSM function node opens a pop-up menu:
Through the pop-up the user can:
Rename the RSM function. It is also possible to change the
function's name using the key.
Delete the RSM function.
Set As Default: set as
the default RSM function for that output variable.
Export: it is possible to
Export a synthetic model of the RSM
function; actually some synthetic models can be exported in JAVA, C or
FORTRAN.It is also possible to Export selecting from the menu
File|Export.
