How to test and revise DOE models
Tools for
testing,
revising,
and
selecting
models
All the tools and procedures for testing, revising and selecting final
DOE models are covered in various sections of the Handbook. The
outline below gives many of the most common and useful techniques
and has links to detailed explanations.
