Slide- Attack the Variance, Course 1 (Pittcon 2013) 2
Section 1 Understanding your data
Evaluating data quality are there potential problems?
Concepts: Mean, standard deviation, precision, accuracy, Z-score
Tools: Hypothesis tests, p-values, Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA), t-
tests, outlier tests, regression analysis

Section 2 Howgoodistheruler?
Where is the variation sample or measurement or both?
Concepts: measured vs. observed variation, effect of interactions,
how to correct variation
Tools: Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (GRR), fishbone
diagram (cause and effect diagram)

Section 3 Identify sources of variation . . . Then optimize!
Which factors are really important to optimize?
Concepts: Knowing which knobs to turn, which way to turn them,
and how much in order to reach the optimal method.
Tools: Screening Design of Experiment(DOE) & optimization DOE

Words of caution with outlier tests:
Apply to multiple measurements of the same
sample, not single measurements of a set of
samples.
First, try to identify and resolve the cause of the
outlier.
If you have an outlier and need to report a
single value to represent the result, use the
median value, rather than the mean.

Example:
A set of samples were made
spanning a range of different
compositions.
Each sample was measured
once.
The measured values were
plotted vs. the theoretical

Is this due to measurement variation or a bad sample?
Can it be thrown out? . . .

Standardized Residuals How to treat outliers in a
set of regression data
Slide- Attack the Variance, Course 1 (Pittcon 2013) 37
Strategy:
Use Minitab to plot the
standardized residuals.
Any residual > 3 is outside the
99.7% confidence interval and
can be considered an outlier.
Investigate and resolve the
reason for the outlier if
necessary.

PolyStat, a polymer formulator, is analyzing a polymer sample for an
additive using NIR. They believe that they have optimized the method
and now want to perform a gauge R&R.
The two operators who will be running the test are asked to run the
gauge samples.
Manufacturing has said that the upper spec is 0.8% and the lower
spec. is 0.3%. They have also indicated that the standard deviation of
the process is 0.3%.
The Black Belt has picked samples she feels are representative of the
process and has told the operators how the samples are to be run.

In order to determine statistical significance of main effects
and interaction factors, the magnitude of these effects are
compared to the experimental error present in the system.

In order to estimate the error, experimental runs are replicated.


Where to add replicates? Where you want the most
information:

Corner-point replication

Higher number of replicates

(Replicate Runs)
If the Run Order = Std Order,
then any uncontrolled factor that
varies with time (i.e. noise) will
effect response.
Example:

In an LC method, the temperature in the
laboratory can effect the chromatographic
peak resolution.

If the runs are not randomized, then the
temperature effect, which is not a
controlled factor, can effect the DOE.

Also, if all the replicates are run at the
end, then the experimental noise is not
representative of the true noise level.
The runs should be randomized.
Replicates should be spread randomly
throughout the experiment.

What is Blocking?
Systematic way of dividing the runs into subsets. Maximum number
of runs that can be made under homogenous conditions.
Why Block?
If there are factors which are believed to affect the response but are
of no interest to the experimenter, these factors can confound the
results and produce erroneous conclusions.
Byassigningablocktoeachlevelofthisnuisancefactor,theeffectof
this factor can be isolated from those of interest. (Time- shift, days,
etc.)
When to Block?
When there is a significant risk of a nuisance factor confounding the
experimentalresults..Withoutreplicationoftheseblocks,however,
there is no ability to test for the significance of the blocking factor.
The cost of blocking is the ability to determine higher-order effects.
Only block in screening DOEs- disregarding a source of variation will
not result in a robust design.

Helps you focus on the critical factors that influence the response
Points out important interactions between factors or directs your attention to
otherfactorsyouhadntconsidered
Transfer function should be verified experimentally by running selected
experiments at the low and high settings to check predictive capability.
The screening model assumes that each factor has a linear effect on the
response because only 2 factor levels were tested.
The screening model does not specifically address variance because each
corner of the design space is tested only once.
You may need to perform a second screening DOE to include other factors or
re-center the range.
The next sections will demonstrate how to strategically model the variance to
develop the most robust method.
An Optimization DOE on significant factors will help show any curvature in
the design space. . . . Next

Why do an Optimization DOE?
Add center-points for curvature
Re-center the design space based on screening results
Focus only on significant factors
Improve precision of the model by adding replicates

Optimization: Second Order Experimental Designs
Slide- Attack the Variance, Course 1 (Pittcon 2013) 108
Method development specialists at Polystuff Products analyze the extent of
polymerization in lab-scale reactions by measuring the amount of residual
monomer following reaction in a stirred vessel. The scientists observe that, in
general, the rate of polymerization increases with increased stirrer speed.
However, when the stirrer speed gets too high, shear instability causes the
solids to coagulate out of suspension, reducing the polymerization rate. The
amount of suspended polymer can roughly be measured as turbidity by UV-Vis
absorption.
The scientists designed a central composite design DOE with two factors
(stirrer speed and mass of initial monomer) measuring two results (residual
monomer and turbidity) find the optimal settings for their process. The goal is
to achieve a residual monomer level between 410 ppm and 427 ppm, and
maximum relative turbidity between 0.7 and 0.88.

Course 1 Summary
There are several tools to help understand your data
(hypothesis tests, ANOVA, GRR, etc.)
These tools can indicate sources of variation or
equivalence of data sets
Several DOE strategies are available to identify the
factors that affect the response
Screening DOE simplest design for quickly probing
linear effects for multiple factors
Optimization DOE more complex design for
understanding higher order interactions.
Proper use of these concepts can help you truly
optimize your methods.
