Low cost response surface methods:

a)      The majority of standard design of experiments (DOE) methods was presented initially in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B and Technimetrics.

b)      These and other journals including the Journal of Quality Technology, the Journal of Royal Statistical Society: Series C, Quality & Reliability Engineering International, and Quality Engineering contain many innovative DOE methods.

c)       “low cost response surface methods” (LCRSM) from Allen et al. (2000) and Allen and Yu (2002). Those papers provide tabulated, general-purpose experimental designs for three, four, and five factors each with roughly half the number of runs of the corresponding central composite designs and comparable expected prediction errors.
