3. Introduction
Field of application
Experimental design and optimization are tools that are used to systematically
examine different types of problems that arise within, e.g., research,
development and production.
a study design used to test cause-and-effect relationships between variables.
The classic experimental design specifies an experimental group and a control
group. The independent variable is administered to the experimental group and
not to the control group, and both groups are measured on the same
dependent variable. Subsequent experimental designs have used more groups
and more measurements over longer periods. True experiments must have
control, randomization, and manipulation.
4. Why experimental design
It is obvious that if experiments are performed randomly
the result obtained will also be random. Therefore, it is a
necessity to plan the experiments in such a way that the
interesting information will be obtained.
5. When to Use DOE
Use DOE when more than one input factor is suspected of
influencing an output. For example, it may be desirable to
understand the effect of temperature and pressure on the
strength of a glue bond.
DOE can also be used to confirm suspected input/output
relationships and to develop a predictive equation suitable for
performing what-if analysis.

6. Planning for the Experiments
2. Definition of aim
What is the aim?
When the aim is well defined the problem should be analysed with the help of the
following questions:
What is known?
What is unknown?
يمكن التي المتغيراتنها؟ التحققWhat do we need to investigate?
To be able to plan the experiments in a reasonable way the problem has to be
concret real.
Which experimental variables can be investigated?
Which responses can be measured?
When the experimental variables and the responses have been defined the
experiments can be planned and performed in such a way that a maximum of
information is gained from a minimum of experiments.

Review the whole procedure—different moments, critical steps, raw material, equipment,
etc. Try to get a
holistic view of the problem.

8. Factorial design Model
In a factorial design the influences of all experimental variables, factors, and
interaction effects on the response or responses are investigated.
If the combinations of k factors are investigated at two levels, a factorial design will
consist of 2k experiments. In Table 1, the factorial designs for 2, 3 and 4 experimental
variables are shown.
To continue the example with higher numbers, six variables would give 26 = 64
experiments, seven variables would render 2^7 = 128 experiments, etc.
The levels of the factors are given by – (minus) for low level and + (plus) for high level.
A zero-level is also included, a centre, in which all variables are set at their mid value.
Three or four centre experiments should always be included in factorial designs, for the
following reasons:
• The risk of missing non-linear relationships in the middle of the intervals is
minimised, and
• Repetition allows for determination of confidence intervals.

Is there differences between the results coming
from experimental Conditions playing violent video
games and Control condition behaviours after
playing non violent video games .
And if there is deference statistics significant ?
If the statistics is significant that mean the our result
must highly due to independent variable and not by
chance.

22. Terminology
3. Terminology
To simplify the communication a few different terms are introduced and defined. Others
will be defined when
they are needed.
Experimental domain the experimental ‘area’ that is investigated defined by the
diversity of the experimental variables.
Factors experimental variables that can be changed independently of each other
Independent variables same as factors
Continuous variables independent variables that can be changed continuously
Discrete variables independent variables that are changed step-wise, e.g., type of
solvent
Responses the measured value of the results. from experiments
Residual the difference between the calculated and the experimental
result
23. 1- get a full understanding of the inputs and outputs being
investigated. A process flow diagram or process map can be
helpful.
2- Determine the appropriate measure for the output. A variable
measure is preferable. Ensure the measurement system is stable
and repeatable.
3- Create a design matrix for the factors being studied The design
matrix will show all possible combinations of high and low levels
for each input factor.
DOE Procedure
24. Factorial design
Input A Level Input B Level
Experiment #1 -1 -1
Experiment #2 -1 +1
Experiment #3 +1 -1
Experiment #4 +1 +1
Note: The required number of experimental runs can be calculated
using the formula 2n where n is the number of factors.
25. For each input, determine the extreme but realistic high
and low levels you wish to investigate. In some cases the
extreme levels may be beyond what is currently in use.
The extreme levels selected should be realistic, not
absurd. For example:
Factorial design
-1 Level +1 Level
Temperature 100 degrees 200 degrees
Pressure 50 psi 100 psi
26. Enter the factors and levels for the experiment into
the design matrix. Perform each experiment and
record the results. For example:
Factorial design
Temperature Pressure Strength
Experiment #1 100 degrees 50 psi 21 lbs
Experiment #2 100 degrees 100 psi 42 lbs
Experiment #3 200 degrees 50 psi 51 lbs
Experiment #4 200 degrees 100 psi 57 lbs
27. Calculate the effect of a factor by averaging the data collected at
the low level and subtracting it from the average of the data
collected at the high level. For example:
Effect of Temperature on strength:
(51 + 57)/2 - (21 + 42)/2 = 22.5 lbs
Effect of Pressure on strength:
(42 + 57)/2 - (21 + 51)/2 = 13.5 lbs
Calculate the effect of a factor
