Dataset
Check model assumptions:
The data from the experiment can be seen below:
Table 1: Dataset
1. Determine the type of experiment:
The experiment was conducted as a full factorial
experiment design, where all possible
combinations of factor levels were included.
The two included factors were grinding size and
grinding time.
2. Variation in the experiment:
There is a difference in variation for the grinding
size and the grinding time. See Figure 1 below:
Figure 1: Variation in experiment
3. Analysis of experimental error:
Figure 2 shows a graph with low spread
centerpoints, which indicates low experimental
error.
4. Analysis of curvature:
Figure 2 indicates linearity and as a consequence there is
no curvature. The figure shows centerpoints with low
spread. Low spread of centerpoints = linearity.

5. Analysis of the experiment and determine an
appropriate model:
RSquare above 0,95 -> independent variables (grind
size & grind time) explain variation/change in the
dependent variables (dose).
Figure 3: RSquare
P-values below 0,05 -> Statically significant evidence
that grind size and grind time have an effect on dose

6.
Residuals are
scattered nicely
around the
predicted values ->
no patterns -> Very
nice model
Figure 5: Residuals
7. Evaluate the model and significant factors:
Model as expected. Grind size and grind time has an impact on the dose,
but changing one independent variable does not have an impact on the
other independent variables impact on the dose.
8. What are the practical implications for the operation of the
grinding time can only be changed on 0.5 second increments??
Harder to fine-tune the operation - Harder to get exact needed dose
9. How long grinding time is optimal if the grind size is 7
and you need 10.0 grams of coffee?
With a grind size of 7 you need to grind the bean for 8,11 sec.
in order to get a dose of 10 grams
