pyDOE3: An experimental design package for python

This package is designed to help the scientist, engineer, statistician, etc., to construct appropriate experimental designs.

Capabilities

The package currently includes functions for creating designs for any number of factors:

• Factorial Designs

  • General Full-Factorial (fullfact)
  • 2-level Full-Factorial (ff2n)
  • 2-level Fractional Factorial (fracfact)
  • Plackett-Burman (pbdesign)
  • Generalized Subset Designs (gsd)

• Response-Surface Designs

  • Box-Behnken (bbdesign)
  • Central-Composite (ccdesign)
  • Doehlert Design (doehlert_shell_design, doehlert_simplex_design)

• Randomized Designs

  • Latin-Hypercube (lhs)
  • Random K-Means (random_k_means)
  • Random Uniform (random_uniform)

• Low-Discrepancy Sequences

  • Sukharev Grid (sukharev_grid)
  • Sobol’ Sequence (sobol_sequence)
  • Halton Sequence (halton_sequence)
  • Rank-1 Lattice Design (rank1_lattice)
  • Korobov Sequence (korobov_sequence)
  • Cranley-Patterson Randomization (cranley_patterson_shift)

• Sampling Designs

  • Morris Method (morris_sampling)
  • Saltelli Sampling (saltelli_sampling)

• Taguchi Designs

  • Orthogonal arrays and robust design utilities (taguchi_design, compute_snr)

• Optimal Designs

  • Advanced optimal design algorithms (optimal_design)
  • Optimality criteria (A, C, D, E, G, I, S, T, V)
  • Search algorithms (Sequential (Dykstra), Simple Exchange (Wynn-Mitchell), Fedorov, Modified Fedorov, DETMAX)
