A measure of robust slope-rotatability for second-order response surface experimental designs

In response surface methodology, rotatability and slope-rotatability are natural and highly desirable properties for second-order regression models. In this paper a measure of robust slope-rotatability for second-order response surface designs with a general correlated error structure is developed and illustrated with different examples for autocorrelated error structure. †This work was partially supported by the second stage Brain Korea 21 Project.

Simultaneous variable selection and outlier identification in linear regression using the mean-shift outlier model

We provide a method for simultaneous variable selection and outlier identification using the mean-shift outlier model. The procedure consists of two steps: the first step is to identify potential outliers, and the second step is to perform all possible subset regressions for the mean-shift outlier model containing the potential outliers identified in step 1. This procedure is helpful for model selection while simultaneously considering outlier identification, and can be used to identify multiple outliers. In addition, we can evaluate the impact on the regression model of simultaneous omission of variables and interesting observations. In an example, we provide detailed output from the R system, and compare the results with those using posterior model probabilities as proposed by Hoeting et al. [Comput. Stat. Data Anal. 22 (1996), pp. 252–270] for simultaneous variable selection and outlier identification.

Joint impact of multiple observations on a subset of variables in multiple linear regression

Abstract In multiple linear regression analysis, each observation affects the fitted regression equation differently and has varying influences on the regression coefficients of the different variables. Chatterjee & Hadi (1988) have proposed some measures such as DSSEij (Impact on Residual Sum of Squares of simultaneously omitting the ith observation and the jth variable), Fj (Partial F-test for the jth variable) and Fj(i) (Partial F-test for the jth variable omitting the ith observation) to show the joint impact and the interrelationship that exists among a variable and an observation. In this paper we have proposed more extended form of those measures DSSEIJ, FJ and FJ(I) to deal with the interrelationships that exist among the multiple observations and a subset of variables by monitoring the effects of the simultaneous omission of multiple variables and multiple observations.

Extended scaled prediction variance optimality for modified central composite design

ABSTRACT Robust parameter designs (RPDs) enable the experimenter to discover how to modify the design of the product to minimize the effect due to variation from noise sources. The aim of this article is to show how this amount of work can be reduced under modified central composite design (MCCD). We propose a measure of extended scaled prediction variance (ESPV) for evaluation of RPDs on MCCD. Using these measures, we show that we can check the error or bias associated with estimating the model parameters and suggest the values of α recommended for MCCS under minimum ESPV.

Slope-Rotatability of Second Order Response Surface Regression Models with Correlated Error

Abstract In Das [8], a study of slope rotatable designs with correlated error was initiated and second order slope-rotatability conditions over axial directions were derived for a general correlated error structure. In this article a class of multifactor designs for estimating the slope of a second order response surface regression model with correlated error is considered. Second order slope-rotatability over all directions and also with equal maximum directional variance in the case of two factors have been derived for a general correlated error structure. In the process, some measures have been proposed for robust slope-rotatability over axial directions, over all directions and with equal maximum directional variance, and are illustrated with examples.

Graphical evaluation of robust parameter designs based on extended scaled prediction variance and extended spherical average prediction variance

ABSTRACT For any response surface design, there are locations in the design region where responses are estimated well and locations where estimation is relatively poor. Consequently, graphical evaluation—such as variance dispersion graphs and the fraction of design space—is used as an alternative to a single-valued criterion. Such plots are used to investigate and compare the prediction capabilities of certain response surface designs currently available to the researcher. In this article, we propose the extended scaled prediction variance and extended spherical average prediction variance as prediction methods. We also illustrate how graphical methods can be employed to evaluate robust parameter designs.

Modified Robust Second-Order Slope-Rotatable Designs

Generally it is very difficult to construct robust slope-rotatable designs along axial directions. Present paper focuses on modified second-order slope-rotatable designs (SOSRDs) with correlated errors. Modified robust second-order slope-rotatability conditions are derived for a general variance–covariance structure of errors. These conditions get simplified for intraclass correlation structure. A few robust second-order slope-rotatable designs (over all directions, or with equal maximum directional variance slope, or D-optimal slope) are examined with respect to modified robust slope-rotatability. It is observed that robust second-order slope-rotatable designs over all directions, or with equal maximum directional variance slope, or D-optimal slope are not generally modified robust second-order slope-rotatable designs.

Minimax Designs for the Stability of Slope Estimation on Second-order Response Surfaces

Abstract In this paper, designs for the stability of the slope estimation on a second-order response surface are considered. Minimization of the point dispersion measure, which is maximized over all points in the region of interest is taken as the optimality criterion, and the minimax properties in some class of designs are derived in spherical and cubic regions of interest. We study the efficiencies of the minimax designs relative to other optimal designs with various criteria.
