You can add up to ten replicates of your design. When you replicate a design, you duplicate the complete set of runs from the initial design. The runs that would be added to a three-component simplex lattice design are as follows:
Initial design |
One replicate added |
Two replicates added |
A B C 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 |
A B C 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 |
A B C 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 |
True replication provides an estimate of the error or noise in your process and may allow for more precise estimates of effects.
