CASE:
An experiment in which a 25-1 design with I = ABCDE was used to investigate the
effects of five factors on the color of a chemical product. The factors are A =
solvent/reactant, B = catalyst/reactant, C = temperature, D = reactant purity, and E
= reactant pH. The responses obtained were as follows:
e = -0.63 d = 6.79
e = 2.51 ade = 5.47
b = -2.68 bde = 3.45
abe = 1.66 abd = 5.68
c = 2.06 cde = 5.22
ace = 1.22 acd = 4.38
bce = -2.09 bcd = 4.30
abc = 1.93 abcde = 4.05
QUESTIONS:
a. Prepare a normal probability plot of the effects. Which effects seem active?
b. Calculate the residuals. Constract a normal probability plot of the residuals
and plot the residuals versus the fitted values. Comment on the plots.
c. If any factors are negligible. Collapse the 2 5-1 design into a full factorial in the
active factors. Comment on the resulting design, and interpret the results.
Answer :
a. Prepare a normal probability plot of the effects. Which effects seem active?
We see from our intial analysis that factors A, B, D, AB, and AD appear to be active
(significant), however factor A is the only factor to register as such in this model.
If we re-analyze the model focusing on only these factors, the following normal
probablity plot of effects is generated.
We see now that factors A, B, D, AB, and AD all register as significant in the reduced model. This
is supported by the following analysis of variance performed using the reduced model.

c. If any factors are negligible. Collapse the 25-1 design into a full factorial in
the active factors. Comment on the resulting design, and interpret the results.
Since we found factors A,B,D, AB, and AD significant, we can colla pse the 25−1 into a
full factorial 23 . The results of this collapse are shown below. It is possible to relabel D as C,
however we have chosen to keep the original labeling format for consistentcy.

We see that the same factors are active in the collapsed model as were in the original
model, though the SSE has decreased slightly to accomodate the addition of B, BD, and
ABD. Furthermore, we note that in the residual plots included below there is no
significant cause for concern. However, the normal probability plot is potentially
exhibiting a pattern which could indicate curvature that was unaccounted for. This should
be looked into further to determine if the model cannot be made to be more accurate.
