Central composite designCentral composite design It contains an embedded factorial or fractional factorial design with centre points that is augmented with a group of axial points that allows estimation of second order effects. If the centre of the design space to a factorial point is +1 unit for each factor, the distance from the centre of the design space to a star point is + a with lal>1. The precise value of depends upon Certain properties desired and the number of factors.Central composite design for two factors & experimental lay out Point | Experim | Factor | Factor type fental | A B points x1 Factorial | 1 1 1 design | 2 1 4 points | 3 1 nf 1 1 Centre 1 oO oO points | > 0 0 3 oO oO ne oO oO Axial 1 -a oO points | > A 0 3 “a nA a
