Taguchi Robust Design Creation

Creates a standard Taguchi robust design experiment from orthogonal arrays.

General

Element Name	Description
Type of design	Select an orthogonal array (design); note that the number of runs is indicated by the number next to the 'L' (e.g., array L16 has 16 runs), the number of orthogonal factors and their levels that can be accommodated by the array are also shown (e.g., L18 (1{2}, 7{3}) has 18 runs, one two-level factor, and seven three-level factors).
Ordering of runs	Specifies ordering method for runs in design; Random or Standard (sequential).
Random number seed	Optional, if random ordering is selected; provide here a seed from 1 to 99999999 to create the random sequence of runs for the design.
Number of replicates	Add to design option: Number of replicates to add to the design (minimum 0, maximum 300).
Number of blank columns	Add to design option: Number of blank columns to add to the design spreadsheet (minimum 0, maximum 300).
Alias structure	Displays a spreadsheet showing a matrix of main effects (rows) by two-way interaction effects (columns). If the entries in the matrix are blank, then the respective two effects (main effect and interaction effect) are not confounded with each other (they are orthogonal). Asterisks (*) in this matrix mark effects that are not orthogonal.
