1    In the Create Response Surface Design dialog box, click Designs.

2    Do one of the following, then click OK.

·    To set a equal to 1, choose Face Centered. When a = 1, the axial points are placed on the "cube" portion of the design. This is an appropriate choice when the "cube" points of the design are at the operational limits.

·    Choose Custom and enter a positive number in the box. A value less than one places the axial points inside the "cube" portion of the design; a value greater than one places the axial points outside the "cube."

Note

A value of a = (F)**1/4, where F is the number of factorial points in the design, guarantees rotatability.
