Starting a new design via menu (option: click blank-sheet icon ( ) on the toolbar)
Then from the default Factorial tab, click Multilevel Categoric. Choose 2 as the
number of factors. If you are in Horizontal entry mode, change it to Vertical.
(Design-Expert will remember this the next time you set up a design.)
experiments. If you crave such details, Help is at your fingertips! For example, go to Help, Contents and work your
way down the tree structure through the branches from Factorial Designs->Additional Factorial Topics->Factor
Coding in Factorial Designs. Note the details on the distinction in categoric contrasts (Nominal vs Ordinal).
Now enter factor B data by keying in Temperature for factor name B (Categoric),
deg F for units, 3 for the number of levels, and 15, 70 and 125 for the levels. Press
Nominal, click the arrow on the drop list, then choose Ordinal as shown below.
This change from Nominal to Ordinal indicates that although this factor is being
treated categorically (for example, due to controls offering only the three levels),
temperature is really a continuous factor. Click Continue at the screens far lower
right.
Power calculation
Click Continue to complete the design specification process. Design-Expert now
displays the 36 runs (in random order) from the replicated 3x3 factorial design.
Choosing a simulation
Then choose Load an existing simulation and click Next>. Finally, click the file
named Battery.simx and Open it. If this file does not appear, choose Help,
Tutorials>Find Tutorials Online and you will be directed to a website to download
them. If you still cant find it, e-mail [email protected] for help. You should
now see data from the experiment. This is a good time to preserve your work:
Select File and Save As. Change the file name to Battery.dxpx and Save.
Now go to the Analysis branch of the program and click the node labeled R1:Life.
This brings up options for applying response transformations.
Click the ANOVA tab to see the analysis of variance for this chosen model. If you
do not see annotations in blue text as shown below, select View, Annotated ANOVA.
Open the Diagnostics tab and examine the residual graphs. By default you see the
normal plot of residuals, which ideally fall more-or-less in line. The pattern here is
a bit askew but not badly abnormal, so do not worry.
Explore all the other diagnostic plots: Take some time now to click your way down the floating tool and then over to
the Influence side for viewing every one of the diagnostics plots and the final report.
Viewing each Temperature and then its average for the effect plot of Material
Right- click the Temperature factor on the floating Factors Tool and change it to
the X1 Axis, thus producing an interaction graph with the ordinal factor displayed
in a continuous manner and the nominal factor (material) laid out discretely as
separate lines. This makes it easier to interpret your results.
The actual results are represented by various-colored circles. If there are multiples, the program displays a number; in
this case quite a few labeled 2. Click these points multiple times to see details on each and every one of them. You
can also click on the non-circular symbols (square, triangle or diamond) to display the predicted outcome pairwise
comparisons. Try this!
To produce a cleaner looking plot, go to View and deselect Show Legend. Now
lets do some more clean-up for report purposes: Right-click over the graph and
select Graph Preferences.

Hierarchy warning
This warning arises because you chose a higher order term without support by
parent terms, in this case: AB and B2. Click Yes and move on.

Check in the Help System.
The ANOVA report now displays in the view (annotated or not) that you used last.
By comparing this output with the ANOVA done in Part One, observe that the lines
for the model and residual come out the same, but the terms involving B differ. In
Part One we treated factor B (temperature) categorically, although in an ordinal
manner. Now that this factor is recognized explicitly as numeric, what was the
effect of B is now broken down to two model terms B and B2, and AB becomes AB
plus AB2.

section click the None option as shown below.
