Misprints

Misprints found in the source, by page. Each shows what the source prints and what its own data give.

  1. Coefficient: X1·X2p. 5.4.7.1

    Book -14.467Data 14.467

    The fit gives +14.467, as the page's R code prints (sr 14.467): the page reverses the sign of five two-factor interactions, X1·X2, X1·X3, X1·X4, X2·X4 and X3·X4, while X1·X2·X4 and the main effects agree. The page's own optimum (speed and feed rate high, grit and direction low) is the 11-effect model's maximum over the 16 corners only with the fitted signs; with the printed ones it would put table speed low.

  2. Coefficient: X1·X3p. 5.4.7.1

    Book 7.339Data -7.339

    The fit gives -7.339, as the page's R code prints (sg -7.339): the page reverses the sign of five two-factor interactions, X1·X2, X1·X3, X1·X4, X2·X4 and X3·X4, while X1·X2·X4 and the main effects agree. The page's own optimum (speed and feed rate high, grit and direction low) is the 11-effect model's maximum over the 16 corners only with the fitted signs; with the printed ones it would put table speed low.

  3. Coefficient: X1·X4p. 5.4.7.1

    Book -7.188Data 7.189

    The fit gives +7.18854, as the page's R code prints (ds 7.189): the page reverses the sign of five two-factor interactions, X1·X2, X1·X3, X1·X4, X2·X4 and X3·X4, while X1·X2·X4 and the main effects agree. The page's own optimum (speed and feed rate high, grit and direction low) is the 11-effect model's maximum over the 16 corners only with the fitted signs; with the printed ones it would put table speed low. Its 7.188 also drops the rounding: 7.18854 is 7.189.

  4. Coefficient: X2·X4p. 5.4.7.1

    Book -9.160Data 9.160

    The fit gives +9.160, as the page's R code prints (rd 9.160): the page reverses the sign of five two-factor interactions, X1·X2, X1·X3, X1·X4, X2·X4 and X3·X4, while X1·X2·X4 and the main effects agree. The page's own optimum (speed and feed rate high, grit and direction low) is the 11-effect model's maximum over the 16 corners only with the fitted signs; with the printed ones it would put table speed low.

  5. Coefficient: X3·X4p. 5.4.7.1

    Book 12.965Data -12.966

    The fit gives -12.965, as the page's R code prints (gd -12.965): the page reverses the sign of five two-factor interactions, X1·X2, X1·X3, X1·X4, X2·X4 and X3·X4, while X1·X2·X4 and the main effects agree. The page's own optimum (speed and feed rate high, grit and direction low) is the 11-effect model's maximum over the 16 corners only with the fitted signs; with the printed ones it would put table speed low.

  1. Regression mean squarep. 5.4.7.2

    Book 3691.6Data 3691.4

    22148.55 / 6 = 3691.4, the library's 3691.42; the page's 3691.6 is not its own sum of squares over its degrees of freedom, and its F, 3691.6 / 162.1 = 22.77, follows from it (R's summary prints 22.78).

  2. Number of runsp. 5.4.7.3

    Book 13Data 11

    The printed design has 11 runs: 4 corners, 4 axial runs and 3 centre runs. 13 runs is the size of the CCI with 5 centre runs that the page says is typically recommended (checked beside), not of this one.

  3. Terms kept: statistical significancep. 5.6.1.8

    Book 0.14875Data 0.06375

    0.14875 is the X2*X3 coefficient, as the page's summary 'X1 X2 X2*X3' says; X1*X2's is 0.06375

  4. Average at -1: X1·X2·X3p. 5.6.1.1

    Book 2.5100Data 2.5875

    Row 7 should be the X1*X2*X3 averages (the Youden plot labels it x1:x2:x3), 2.5875 at -1; the script computes q7 from fx23 instead of fx123, so it repeats row 6, the X2*X3 averages

  5. Average at +1: X1·X2·X3p. 5.6.1.1

    Book 2.8075Data 2.7300

    Row 7 should be the X1*X2*X3 averages (the Youden plot labels it x1:x2:x3), 2.73 at +1; the script computes q7 from fx23 instead of fx123, so it repeats row 6, the X2*X3 averages

  6. Effect: X2·X3p. 5.6.2.3

    Book 63.5Data -63.5

    The effect is -63.4625: the page drops the minus sign that the legends (23 : -63.5) print

  7. Effect: X1·X5p. 5.6.2.6

    Book -63.4626Data -0.5625

    The table's confounding tag is wrong: this is the 23 = 17 = 45 effect (-63.4625; the axis below its spike reads 23), while the 15 group's effect is -0.5625; Dataplot's confounding labels for the 23, 34 and 24 columns are shifted

  8. Effect: X1·X7p. 5.6.2.6

    Book -16.3375Data -63.4625

    The table's confounding tag is wrong: this is the 34 = 16 = 25 effect (-16.3375; the axis below its spike reads 34), while the 17 group's effect is -63.4625; Dataplot's confounding labels for the 23, 34 and 24 columns are shifted

  9. Effect: X1·X6p. 5.6.2.6

    Book 1.6875Data -16.3375

    The table's confounding tag is wrong: this is the 24 = 35 = 67 effect (1.6875; the axis below its spike reads 24), while the 16 group's effect is -16.3375; Dataplot's confounding labels for the 23, 34 and 24 columns are shifted

  10. Coefficient: X1p. 5.6.2.8

    Book 33.106245Data 33.106300

    A typo: the X1 coefficient is 33.10625 (half of 66.2125, printed 66.21249 in the |effects| plot)

  11. Coefficient: X1·X5p. 5.6.2.8

    Book -31.7313Data -0.2812

    The term is mislabelled: -31.7313 is the coefficient of the X2*X3 = X4*X5 = X1*X7 group (-31.73125; the R script calls it x17), the sixth term of the cumulative model; X1*X5's coefficient is -0.28125. The |effects| plot's table tags the X2*X3 row 15+26+47, which the page copied

  12. Effect: X3p. 5.6.2.10

    Book 63.5Data 63.8

    The X3 effect is 63.8125 (63.8 in the legends and the |effects| table); 63.5 is the size of the next group, X2*X3

  13. R-squaredp. 5.5.3.1.3

    Book 0.6580Data 0.6504

    5.5.3.1.1 gives R2 = 0.6504 for the same first-order fit (503.3035/773.8660); 0.6580 matches no fit of these runs (x1 + x2 + I(x1**2) gives 0.6611), so it looks like a typo

  14. Optimal timep. 5.5.3.1.4

    Book 367.32Data 367.34

    The page prints 367.32 here and 367.36 below; 350 + 50(0.3472) = 367.36, and the library's x*2 = 0.3468 gives 367.34

  15. Canonical axisp. 5.5.3.1.4

    Book 0.8830Data 0.3830

    With v2 = (0.6851, 0.7285), w2 = 0.6851(x1 + 0.9278) + 0.7285(x2 - 0.3468) = 0.3830 + 0.6851x1 + 0.7285x2, as the library finds (0.3830); the page writes -0.7285(x2 - 0.3468) in the middle, and its 0.8830 follows from neither sign (the other gives 0.8883)

  16. Coefficient: Y2: x2²p. 5.5.3.2.2

    Book -124.92Data -124.82

    The fit gives -124.82 (and -125.59 with the axial runs at the printed 1.63); the page's -124.92 differs in one digit, likely a transcription slip

  17. Number of levels: X1p. 5.3.3.2.2

    Book 3Data 4

    The printed 4-level design has 4 levels of X1: the page repeats the line of the 3-level design above it

  18. Number of levels: X2p. 5.3.3.2.2

    Book 3Data 4

    The printed 4-level design has 4 levels of X2: the page repeats the line of the 3-level design above it

  19. Number of levels: X3p. 5.3.3.2.2

    Book 3Data 4

    The printed 4-level design has 4 levels of X3: the page repeats the line of the 3-level design above it

  20. Number of levels: X4p. 5.3.3.2.2

    Book 3Data 4

    The printed 4-level design has 4 levels of X4: the page repeats the line of the 3-level design above it

  21. Number of levels: X1p. 5.3.3.2.2

    Book 3Data 5

    The printed 5-level design has 5 levels of X1: the page repeats the line of the 3-level design above it

  22. Number of levels: X2p. 5.3.3.2.2

    Book 3Data 5

    The printed 5-level design has 5 levels of X2: the page repeats the line of the 3-level design above it

  23. Number of levels: X3p. 5.3.3.2.2

    Book 3Data 5

    The printed 5-level design has 5 levels of X3: the page repeats the line of the 3-level design above it

  24. Number of levels: X4p. 5.3.3.2.2

    Book 3Data 5

    The printed 5-level design has 5 levels of X4: the page repeats the line of the 3-level design above it

  25. Standard orderp. 5.3.3.6.3

    Book 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8Data 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 8

    Run 7 is printed 12, 12, 18 (X2 low), the settings of run 5, so it codes to standard order 5; standard order 7 is 12, 18, 18, as the CCC beside it (10, 20, 20): a typo in Table 3.25

  26. Aliases: X2·X3p. 5.6.2.6

    Book 15, 26, 47Data 123457, 1246, 1356, 17, 2567, 3467, 45

    Dataplot's confounding label for column 23 is wrong: 23's aliases are 17, 45; the labels of the 23, 34 and 24 columns are shifted by one group, here and in the Youden, half-normal and cumulative residual SD plots

  27. Aliases: X3·X4p. 5.6.2.6

    Book 17, 23, 45Data 123456, 1247, 1357, 16, 2367, 25, 4567

    Dataplot's confounding label for column 34 is wrong: 34's aliases are 16, 25; the labels of the 23, 34 and 24 columns are shifted by one group, here and in the Youden, half-normal and cumulative residual SD plots

  28. Aliases: X2·X4p. 5.6.2.6

    Book 16, 25, 34Data 1236, 1257, 1347, 1456, 234567, 35, 67

    Dataplot's confounding label for column 24 is wrong: 24's aliases are 35, 67; the labels of the 23, 34 and 24 columns are shifted by one group, here and in the Youden, half-normal and cumulative residual SD plots

  29. Number of words in the defining relationp. 5.3.3.2.4

    Book 3Data 7

    5.3.3.2.4 calls the three generating relations the defining relation and counts their words; the defining relation they generate has 2^3 - 1 = 7 words, as 5.3.3.4.4 says

  30. Resolutionp. 5.3.3.4.4

    Book VData 4

    No 2^(8-3) fraction has resolution V: the best, of minimum aberration, is this resolution IV fraction (5.3.3.4.7's Table 3.17 lists 2_IV^(8-3) and 2_V^(8-2), 64 runs). The page's \( 2_{V}^{8-3} \) comes from the HTML comment it replaced, an image res5.gif with alt text '2(V)**(8-3)'

  31. Resolutionp. 5.3.3.4.4

    Book VData 4

    No 2^(8-3) fraction has resolution V: the best, of minimum aberration, is this resolution IV fraction (5.3.3.4.7's Table 3.17 lists 2_IV^(8-3) and 2_V^(8-2), 64 runs). The page's \( 2_{V}^{8-3} \) comes from the HTML comment it replaced, an image res5.gif with alt text '2(V)**(8-3)'

  32. Resolutionp. 5.3.3.4.4

    Book VData 4

    Its defining relation, as the page itself prints it, has five words of length four, so its resolution is IV; no 2^(8-3) fraction has resolution V

  33. Number of clear two-factor interactionsp. 5.3.3.4.4

    Book 28 - 23Data 4

    27 is not estimable: the word 2467, which the page lists in the defining relation, aliases 27 with 46. 24 of the 28 two-factor interactions are confounded, and four (12, 14, 23 and 34) are clear

  34. Aliases: 1·5p. 5.3.3.4.7

    Book 25Data 1234, 12356, 146, 245, 26, 3, 3456

    15 is aliased with 3 (word 135) and 26 (word 1256), not 25: the file's own chains print 3 + 15 + 26 and 26 + 15, so 25 is a typo for 26

  35. Aliases: 8p. 5.3.3.4.7

    Book 1234568Data 1234567

    8 times the word 12345678 is 1234567, the DEFINITION the file gives for 8; 1234568 is a typo

  36. Aliases: 3·4p. 5.3.3.4.7

    Book 57Data 1237, 1246, 13568, 14578, 2345678, 258, 67

    34 is aliased with 67 through the word 3467, as the file's own chain 67 + 34 says, and 57 is clear (its chain prints 57 + Higher); 57 is a typo for 67

  37. Resolutionp. 5.3.3.4.4

    Book VData 4

    Figure 3.8 itself labels this fraction 2_IV^(8-3); no 2^(8-3) fraction has resolution V: the best, of minimum aberration, is this resolution IV fraction (5.3.3.4.7's Table 3.17 lists 2_IV^(8-3) and 2_V^(8-2), 64 runs). The page's \( 2_{V}^{8-3} \) comes from the HTML comment it replaced, an image res5.gif with alt text '2(V)**(8-3)'

  38. Defining relationp. 5.3.3.4.7

    Book I +Data 12346789, 12359, 12458, 1267, 13457, 1368, 1469, 15789, 23456, 2378, 2479, 25689, 3489, 35679, 45678

    The file prints 'I +' and no word: the defining relation of its generators (6 = 2345, 7 = 1345, 8 = 1245, 9 = 1235) has 15 words, which the library lists

  39. Defining relationp. 5.3.3.4.7

    Book 169, 279, 389, 459, 1456, 2457, 3458, 1267, 1368, 2379, 3562, 2568, 1578, 4678, 1235, 2346, 1347, 1248, 12349, 23569, 13579, 12589, 34678, 24689, 14789, 56789, 12345678, 1245679, 1345689, 2345789, 1236789Data 12345678, 12349, 1235, 1236789, 1245679, 1248, 12589, 1267, 1345689, 1347, 13579, 1368, 1456, 14789, 1578, 169, 2345789, 2346, 23569, 2378, 2457, 24689, 2568, 279, 3458, 34679, 3567, 389, 459, 4678, 56789

    Three of the 31 words are misprinted: 2379 for 2378, 3562 for 3567 and 34678 for 34679; the other 28 are words of the relation of 5 = 123, 6 = 234, 7 = 134, 8 = 124, 9 = 1234

  40. Generatorp. 5.3.3.2.7

    Book C=ABCDData ABCDG, ABEFH

    The image prints C = ±ABCD, which defines the base factor C by itself; the 2^(8-2) of Box, Hunter and Hunter and of 2to8m2.txt (5.3.3.4.7) has G = ABCD (7 = 1234), so C is a typo for G

  41. Resolutionp. 5.3.3.2.7

    Book VData 4

    With J = ACDE and K = ACDF the product JK = EFJK is a word of length four, so the fraction is of resolution IV; 2to10m3.txt (5.3.3.4.7) has 9 = 2345, J = BCDE, which gives resolution V, so ACDE is a typo for BCDE

  42. Runs of the foldover: 5p. 5.3.3.8.2

    Book 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8Data

    No run of TABLE 3.36 has X5 = -X1X3: every run has X5 = X1X3, so the column heading is a typo
