Patent number: 11854127Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2023Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: JMP Statistical Discovery LLCInventors: Caleb Bridges King, Ryan Adam Lekivetz, Joseph Albert Morgan, Yeng Saanchi, Bradley Allen Jones

Publication number: 20230281347Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2022Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Bradley Allen Jones, Joseph Albert Morgan, Mark Wallace Bailey, Jacob Davis Rhyne, Ryan Adam Lekivetz, Caleb Bridges King

Patent number: 11216603Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: SAS Institute Inc.Inventors: Joseph Albert Morgan, Ryan Adam Lekivetz, Bradley Allen Jones, Caleb Bridges King
