  • Patent number: 9965721
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of generating a plurality of selectable design experiments in a design of experiments (DOE) process for analyzing at least one data set from a process to determine a relationship of a plurality of process factors of interest to a process output of interest. The method entails receiving as user input into a computing apparatus, a base number of trials and a number of center point trials. From the computing apparatus, a graphical user interface is generated on a display connected with the computing apparatus. This includes presenting a display containing a plurality of experiment each defined, at least partially, by a combination of number of replicates (replicates count) and effect size. The display further includes a predicted power value for each combination of replicates count and effect size.

  • Publication number: 20140282188
    Abstract: A computing system is disclosed having one or more processors, a display, and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. In this computing system, the memory stores program instructions executable by the one or more processors to display a graphical user interface on the display. The graphical user interface includes at least one user interface data object associated with a stored data set and displaying visual attributes corresponding to properties of the data set, including an attribute corresponding to data type.
