Mixtures?

Paul Darius and design and analysis of mixtures

Page 4: Designs in constrained experimental regions...Lower bounds Whole simplex design in pseudocomponents x i’ Whole simplex experiments in raw mixture components or pseudocomponents:

Why mixtures?

• Investigate the effects of composition and process variables

on responses

o Investigate the importance of the compositional components

o Investigate the importance of the process variables

o Investigate respective interactions

o Predict the optimal response

• Pancake, concrete, …

Consequences

• Experimental factors not independent

o One exact collinearity/dependence relation

• Classical, orthogonal experimental designs not applicable

• Specific design and analysis methodology

• Multivariate approach is necessary

to size, shape and location of the experimental region

defined by the set of additional constraints

• Optimal design theory is indispensable

• Implies computer aided design of experiments, especially

in high dimensionality

How to deal with ill conditioning

(multicollinearity) in experiments with

mixtures?

• In many situations the additional constraints induce ill-conditioning or near-collinearities in the design matrix on top of the mixture constraint (exact collinearity)

• On top of this, the ill conditioning is increased by model formulation

• Implications for OLS o Large estimates

o Large variances and covariances of the estimates

o Incorrect signs of the estimates

o Unreliable test statistics

o Unreliable variable selection

How to use this information for more ‘optimal’

design?

• Instead of optimizing variance properties of parameters and predicted response under OLS estimation

• Minimize correlational structure

o Scree plot of singular values

o Optimize factorisation 1

• Minimize collinearity structure

o Optimize factorisation 2

• Redesign to uniform singular value profile

Guarantee design

in the ‘full’ region

in the exchange

algorithm

• Protected design points, fi vertices

• Adapt constraints

Page 76: Designs in constrained experimental regions...Lower bounds Whole simplex design in pseudocomponents x i’ Whole simplex experiments in raw mixture components or pseudocomponents:

Solutions for the bread example

• Solutions for ill conditioning o Redesign

• Categorisation of the components

• Define small ranged components as process variables

o (Remodel)

• Model reduction

• Adapted models

Conclusion

• Plenty of interesting ideas for better mixture design

optimality criteria for constrained mixture experiments by

detailled study of ill conditioning

• Correlational and collinearity structures

• Computational problems to calculate for realistic problems

in industry exchange algorithms in high dimensionality
