6. Multiple Response Experiments
“ACTION” provides this tool that allows you to carry out an Experiment with Multiple Variables and Multiple Responses, and you can create interactive graphs.
Example:
We will carry out the analysis with the following database:
| x1 | x2 | y1 | y2 | y3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| -1 | -1 | 76.5 | 62 | 2940 |
| -1 | 1 | 77.0 | 60 | 3470 |
| 1 | -1 | 78.0 | 66 | 3680 |
| 1 | 1 | 79.5 | 59 | 3890 |
| 0 | 0 | 79.9 | 72 | 3480 |
| 0 | 0 | 80.3 | 69 | 3200 |
| 0 | 0 | 80.0 | 68 | 3410 |
| 0 | 0 | 79.7 | 70 | 3290 |
| 0 | 0 | 79.8 | 71 | 3500 |
| 1414 | 0 | 78.4 | 68 | 3360 |
| -1414 | 0 | 75.6 | 71 | 3020 |
| 0 | 1414 | 78.5 | 58 | 3630 |
| 0 | -1414 | 77.0 | 57 | 3150 |
We will upload the data to the system.

To realize the analysis, simply access DOE and select the options as shown in the figure below.

Clicking on Calculate, we can see the results in the “Models” tab And download the results in Word format.

Clicking on the “Desirability” menu shows the best solution along with the heat map.

The results are
