After you create a design, you can use Display Design to change the way the design points are stored in the worksheet. You can change the design points in two ways:

·    display the points in either random and standard order. Run order is the order of the runs if the experiment was done in random order.

·    express the components in amounts, proportions, or pseudocomponents.

·    express process variables in coded or uncoded units.

How to display the points in the worksheet

Order for all points in the worksheet: Minitab sorts the worksheet columns according to the display method (random order or standard order) you select. By default, Minitab sorts a column if the number of rows is less than or equal to the number of rows in the design. Specify any columns that you do not want to reorder in the Columns Not to Reorder dialog box. Columns that have more rows than the design cannot be reordered.

Run order for design: Choose to display points in run order.

Standard order for design: Choose to display points in standard order.

Units for components You can specify one of three scales to represent the design: amounts, proportions, or pseudocomponents. Amounts are what you actually measure. By default, Minitab uses amounts to print and store your data. See Specifying the units for components for more information.

Amount: Choose to display design points in the worksheet as amounts.

Proportions: Choose to display design points in the worksheet as proportions.

Pseudocomponents: Choose to display design points in the worksheet as pseudocomponents.

Units for process variables

Coded: Choose to perform the analysis using the default coding, -1 for the low level and +1 for the high level.

Uncoded: Choose to perform the analysis using the values that you assigned in the Process Variables subdialog box.
