Carrying Out the Method of Steepest Ascent in a Response Surface Experiment with Split-Plot Structure

분할법 구조를 갖는 반응표면 실험에서 최대경사법 수행 방법

In many industrial experiments, some practical constraints often force factors in an experiment to be much harder to change than others. Such an experiment involves randomization restrictions and it can be thought of as split-plot experiment. This paper investigates the path of steepest ascent/descent within a split-plot structure. A method is proposed for calculating the coordinates along the path.
