  • Patent number: 11854127
    Abstract: A computing device receives a target value for a design quality metric. The target value indicates a desired quality of a design of an experiment and is related to an input parameter by a response curve. The computing device also validates the target value as being in a feasibility range for the design quality metric, and if so, determines a candidate value for the input parameter that yields a calculated value for the design quality metric. To determine the calculated value, the computing device iteratively adjusts the candidate value until the calculated value is within a predetermined tolerance of the target value. The computing device then updates an interactive graph visually representing the calculated value for the design quality metric as a function of the candidate value for the input parameter and outputs a graph visually representing the relationship that exists between the candidate value and the calculated value.

  • Publication number: 20230281347
    Abstract: A computing device receives user input for a design of an experiment. The user input indicates respective factor identities for factors in the design of the experiment, respective response identities for responses to options for the factors in the design, and a user-defined objective for the one or more responses. Additionally, based on the user input, the computing device displays a subset of a set of multiple model types and a user-definable amount of design runs for the design. Each design run presents settings according to the design for each of the factors. The computing device also receives settings indicating a user-selected model type from the subset and a user-defined amount of design runs, and based on the settings, selects one or more design construction criteria for generating the design. The computing device then generates the design according to the design construction criteria.

  • Publication number: 20230274051
    Abstract: A computing device obtains first and second factors for a nesting design and first and second sets of candidate options for the first and second factors, respectively. The computing device also receives a nesting indication that the second factor is nested within the first factor. The computing device generates the nesting design by portioning the first and second sets of candidate options into respective first and second different sets of groups. Based on the nesting indication, the computing device generates an assignment of groups for a design, and also selects options in the nesting design for the first and second factors based on the assignment of groups. The computing device also generates terms for a computer model for a computer simulation of the nesting design, as well as one or more computer-generated assessments of the nesting design based on the computer simulation.

  • Publication number: 20230222261
    Abstract: A computing device obtains settings for a design of an experiment. The settings include a first sample size that indicates an amount of members for a first group observed as part of the experiment, a design quality metric that assesses, based on the first sample size, a quality of the design for the experiment prior to conducting the experiment, and a parameter pertaining to the first group. The computing device also displays first and second graphs of the design quality metric on a graphical user interface. The first graph is displayed as a function of the first sample size and the second graph is displayed as a function of the parameter pertaining to the first group. The computing device also receives a first user indication to change one or more of the settings, and then updates both the first and second graphs to account for the first user indication.

  • Publication number: 20220187169
    Abstract: A computing system receives a request for computer-generated likelihood(s) for candidate evaluations of an industrial product set according to a measurement system analysis (MSA). The MSA comprises tests for evaluating, according to a measurement standard, the industrial product set. The request indicates a metric set representing metric(s) each quantifying an estimate of contribution to variation in evaluating the industrial product set according to the MSA. The system generates a design comprising a respective input set for each test of the MSA. The respective input set comprises setting(s) for conducting a test of the MSA. The design is designed to isolate candidate sources for contributing to the variation in evaluating the industrial product set according to the MSA. The system (e.g., prior to the MSA) outputs, based on the metric set and the design, the computer-generated likelihood(s) for the candidate evaluations of the industrial product set according to the MSA.

  • Patent number: 11216603
    Abstract: A computing system receives a request for a computer-generated design of an experiment. A design space is defined by candidate inputs for each factor of the experiment. The system receives a disallowed combination indication indicating a user-defined disallowed combination for the design space. The disallowed combination constrains a first set of values from a first set of candidate inputs from being assigned to the first factor if the second factor is assigned one of a second set of values from a second set of candidate inputs. The system determines additional constraint(s) on computer generation of the design. The system evaluates if a user-defined model can be generated according to the disallowed combination and the constraint(s). The system generates a computer suggested modification of the user-defined model such that the design can be generated according to the computer suggested modification.

  • Patent number: 11194940
    Abstract: A computing system determines a design space for designing a design system. The computing system receives a request to identify input(s) that will provide a response of the design system that advances a user-defined goal for the design system. The computing system, responsive to the request to identify input(s), generates a design for the design space that provides design cases for generating the response of the design system and obtains responses of the design system generated for multiple design cases of the design for the design system. The computing system selects at least one design case based on obtained responses of the design system for the multiple design cases, and based on the at least one design case, outputs an indication of suggested input(s) for the design system. The suggested input(s) advances the user-defined goal for the design system and is not disallowed according to disallowed combination(s).

The device generates a data representation of a matrix Y that defines a supersaturated design for the design of the experiment. The generating the data representation is by: generating a data representation of a matrix X according to an obtained design; computing an indication of correlation between effects of factors of a matrix Y; and generating, based on the indication of correlation, the data representation of the matrix Y that is the transposition of the matrix X or is the transposition of a matrix X*. The matrix X* is a first subset of the matrix X such that the transposition of the matrix X* represents a same number of factors as the transposition of the matrix X. The device outputs a setting for each test condition of the supersaturated design for the experiment.
