Design-Ease Features:

Powerful, Yet Easy-to-Use
Designed as an entry-level DOE software package, Design-Ease 6 offers features for ease-of-use and functionality that you won't find in general statistical packages.  You'll discover a wide variety of designs, the flexibility to modify designs, unique evaluation capabilities, graphics to simplify interpretation, an intuitive interface and a greatly expanded help system.

Select Your Design with the handy design builder.  It goes up to 15 factors and 128 runs!

A Tremendous Variety of Designs Meet All Your Experimental Needs
• Standard two-level full and fractional factorials (up to 256 runs) for testing up to 15 factors simultaneously, with optimal (minimum-aberration) blocking choices*
• General (multilevel) factorial designs (up to 32,000 runs) for categorical factors with mixed levels*
• High-resolution irregular fractions, such as 4 factors in 12 runs
• Taguchi orthogonal arrays*
• Placket-Burman designs for 11, 19, 23, 27 or 31 factors in 12, 20, 24, 28 or 32 runs respectively

Interactions are revealed graphically.  The level of one factor can change the effect of another - an interaction detected only with DOE.

Enjoy Incredible Flexibility in Design Modification
• Define your own generators for fractional factorial designs*
• Ignore a row of data while preserving the numbers*
• Add new factors and blocking to existing designs*
• Edit factor names and levels even after a design is created
• Change factors from numeric to categoric and back*
• Fold over one or more factors for any two-level design
• Easily analyze designs with botched or missing data   

Evaluate Your Experimental Design with Unique Tools
• Ability to graph any two columns of data on the XY graph (this is a great way to view a block effect)
• Power calculations provide assurance that you can detect effects*
• Get all the details you need on aliases, degrees of freedom, leverage, correlation, etc.

Simplify Interpretation with Terrific Graphics
• Discover significant effects at-a-glance with half-normal or normal probability plots, include points to represent estimates of pure error (if available from your design)

A half-normal plot identifies vital factors.

• Select effects using Lenth's criteria or probability values

• See the effects plot in the original scale after transforming the response

• View a complete array of diagnostics graphs to check statistical assumptions and detect possible outliers (bonus feature: predicted-versus-actual graphs with a 45º line*)

• See the Box-Cox plot for advice on the best response transformation*

Rotatable 3D plots produce high quality reports.

• Graph alternative aliased interactions*

• Generate interactive 2-D contours and rotatable 3-D graphics

• Edit colors, text and more to produce professional reports

Build Confidence with Statistical Analysis of Data

• Make substitutions for aliased effects*

• Select optional annotated views for assistance with ANOVA interpretation*

• Inspect F-test values on individual model terms and confidence intervals on coefficients*

Save Time with Design-Ease's Intuitive Interface

• Easily maneuver through the program: go down the tree, through wizards, and across progressive toolbars

• View numerical outputs spreadsheet style

• Cut and paste graphics to your word processor or presentation, or numbers to or from a spreadsheet

• View several graphs simultaneously using the handy pop-out option

Find the Answers to your Questions in the Expanded Help System

• Greatly improved context-sensitive help provides immediate response*

• Better guidance helps you choose the best model*

• A bonus help section provides "getting started" advice to novices*

• Special user tips offer hints not normally found in a help system*
