Abstract

Small scale special purpose analog simulators are finding many applications as teaching aids in the classroom. One type of simulator design is currently being used in graduate level statistics courses at the University of Delaware. It was developed primarily for teaching Statistical Response Surface Technology.

Statistical Response Surface Technology (SRST) is an effective way of optimizing variables in a system or process. Samples at various operating parameters are taken and analyzed according to one of many Response Surface Design techniques. This statistical sampling process can produce an accurate estimate of a maximum or minimum point, or can give the optimum coefficients of a quadratic model.

The Response Surface Generator (RSG) described in this paper incorporates multivariable function simulators and a random error generator to produce a variety of response surface designs. In general, the student is given a problem based on some process or model which is simulated in the RSG. He can manipulate any of the six input variables and then read the output response. The student may be asked to find the minimum or maximum operating point, the minimum or maximum cost, or the quadratic model for the process using SRST techniques.

Comparison of Stochastic Response Surface Method and Response Surface Method for Structure Reliability Analysis
ICICTA '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Second International Conference on Intelligent Computation Technology and Automation - Volume 03

The Response Surface Method (RSM) is not efficient to solve reliability analysis of complex and computationally high-demanding models. The Stochastic Response Surface Method (SRSM) was proposed recently. This paper adds some mathematics foundation for ...

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to provide a survey of the various stages in the development of response surface methodology (RSM). The coverage of these stages is organized in three parts that describe the evolution of RSM since its introduction ...
Nonparametric estimation of the location of a maximum in a response surface

We explore a nonparametric version of response surface analysis. Estimates for the location where maximum response occurs are proposed and their asymptotic distribution is investigated. The proposed estimates are based on kernel and local least squares ...
