Transfer Function :
Y = 253 + 3.49 DF 4.98 CV

Output ?
Variation Propagation ?
STEP 3
We then need to calculate numeric
values for the output from the simulated
inputs now stored in columns of the
Minitab worksheet.
Use Minitabs calculator Calc > Calculator
to introduce the transfer function, which
is based on the final model from the DOE
analysis:
Removal Rate = 253 + 3.49 DF
4.98 CV + 1.58 TV + .033 DF*CV*VC
CONCLUSION
Minitabs ability to quickly generate a
very large number of simulated values,
along with its integrated statistical and
graphic capabilities, make it a very
powerful tool for Monte Carlo simulation
methods.
