This dialog box allows you to define a starting point for the search algorithm, suppress display of the optimization plot, and store the composite desirability values.
- Components in design
- Displays all the components that are included in the fitted model. This column does not take any input.
- Starting
value
- If the algorithm produces unacceptable results, you can try to improve the results by entering a starting point for the search algorithm. To define a starting point for the search algorithm, enter a value for each component. Each value must be between the minimum and maximum levels for that component.
- Optimization plot
- Deselect to suppress the display of the plot. The default is to display the plot.
- Store composite desirability values
- Select to store the composite desirability value for each observation. Minitab stores the values after the last column of data in the column DESIR.
- Display local solutions
- Select to display the local solutions. The optimization algorithm searches from multiple start points. The endpoint of each search represents a local solution. The local solution with the highest composite desirability is called the global solution.
