8. Lаurа Freemаn, a medical researcher is seeking tо screen several factоrs which may be active in killing the Cоvid 19 virus. She is considering culturing the virus in the laboratory and applying combinations of treatments to the virus cultures. Her response variable will be reduction in viral loads (specimens per sample) after 24 hours over the control no-treatment baseline. Presumably the virus has no placebo response. She believes that sparsity of effects is likely true in this situation – if a factor is active, it will show as a main effect or interaction and not only in three-way or higher term. She is testing the variables below, including a popular mix of immune health crystals drawn from Amazon best sellers: “This unique combination of 4 genuine gemstone crystals has been designed with the intention of supporting the body's Immune System. Crystal programming and cleansing instructions are included.” She believes she will have to have to administer the treatments over two one-week periods. She wonders if she can maintain the same experimental conditions over the two weeks. Final Exam Q8 table.png Laura has come to you for advice on her experiment. Advise her by answering the questions below. A. She is looking for an effect size of 1.6 standard deviations or more. What is the smallest 5-variable experiment (N) you might recommend? N= _____________? B. Quote the power for the A – UV Light main effect at her desired signal to noise ratio of 1.6 in part A. Power = ____________%. C. What about the fifth variable E- the crystals -- will you leave it categoric/qualitative or will you convert it to numeric? If so, how? D. Do you advise her to use center points in her experiment? Yes or no and why or why not? If so, how many? E. Finally, Laura is still concerned about the two weeks. How can you modify her part D experiment to accommodate differences between the two weeks – a nuisance variable? Quote the main effects power of a modification of the part D design that allows for the nuisance variable. Power = ______________ % Did it cost much to allow the weeks to be different?
7. This grаphic is аnоther plоt оf residuаls that is key to testing an assumption that is commonly violated. What assumption is typically assessed with this plot? Does this plot indicate that this assumption is met or is it violated? Answer “met” or “violated” and support your answer with a sentence or two. Final Exam Q7 Graph.png Assumption ____________ Met or violated _____________ Why? ________________________
17. A 16-run frаctiоnаl fаctоrial experiment in nine factоrs was conducted by Chrysler Motors Engineering and described in the article “Sheet Molded Compound Process Improvement,” by P.I. Hsieh and D.E. Goodwin (Fourth Symposium on Taguchi Methods, American Supplier Institute, Dearborn, MI, 1986, pp. 13-21). The purpose was to reduce the number of defects in the finish of sheet-molded grill opening panels. The design and the resulting number of defects observed on each run are contained in the file Problem15a_Fraction.dxpx. This is a resolution III fraction with generators E=BD, F=BCD, G=AC, H=ACD, and J=AB. A. Conduct a design evaluation – use the 2FI model -- to confirm this is a Res III design. List the first three aliases of A= _____ + _____ + ______. B. Estimate the factor effects and use a normal probability plot to tentatively identify the important factors and interactions. How many important effects do you identify? ___________ (number) effects. C. Can we confidently assume these labeled effects are the correct ones? Why or why not? D. Examine the residual plots and Box-Cox for any problems with violations of assumptions. Comment on the adequacy of the plots and Box-Cox. Hint: counts often are distributed Poisson and are in need of a transformation. E. Perform the needed transformation, adding a constant like k=1.0 if needed, and reanalyze the data. Which terms seem active now? _____ _____ ______ ______ _____ ______
