A comparison of traditional methods of setting-up the experiments with the utilization of computer-based DOE software: validation of a scientific experiment

The purpose of this presentation is to examine the advantages of utilizing a design of experiments (DOE) software over the traditional methods of setting up experiments. In addition, the authors plan to validate the results of a scientifically designed experiment using DOE-PC IV software. The data are based on a battery of experiments that were run by researchers to see the effects of different variables on the operating temperature of thermal fuses in an electronic circuit.
