Factorial Design

Published on: September 5, 2024

Factorial Design is intended for experiments where the user is interested in the influence of varied independent variables, materials (values for weight and/or volume) and/or processing steps on target properties.

Factorial Design in Alchemy

Factorial design is automatically proposed when the user inputs weight and/or volume for materials and/or processing steps.

Constraints

Required constraints for each material are:

Lower and upper bound or
Constant

‍

Required constraints for each condition from processing step are:

Lower and upper bound - for conditions of number type
Any of - for conditions of predefined number or text (alphanumeric) type
Set to - for conditions of predefined number or text (alphanumeric) type which are not varied and
Constant - for non varied conditions (influence of this conditions of processing steps cannot be assessed)

Rules for Valid Constraints

Constraints are valid without any rules.
