what is the difference between repetition and replication – with respect to setting up a DOE ?

Repetition could mean anything. If repetition were performed under the same experimental conditions,then repetition = replication.0June 12, 2007 at 6:46 pm #57271

to replicate means to repeat the entire design. A 2**3 full factorial DOE contains 8 cornerpoints (=combinations). If you do 2 replicates you have to do 16 runs, so you repeat every treatment combination once. This allows, like mentioned in an earlier answer, the estimation of your experimental error.
Repeat is the repetiton of a single treatment combination. If your process does not allow fast changes (continues process like tube mill) replicates are very difficult so its adequate to take multiple sample at the same teatment combination.0June 13, 2007 at 9:26 am #57274

Tommy VanHorneMember@Tommy-VanHorneInclude @Tommy-VanHorne in your post and this person will

In DOE, if you design an eight treatment combinations in your experiment and run a repeat of each treatment back to back, you have 8 degrees o freedom in the experiment. If you randomize the 16 runs (8 treatment combinations repliacted somewhere in the experiment) and few if any are run consecutively, you have 16 degrees of freedom. Subtle, but important.

be notified via email.About the differences between REPLICATION and REPETITION, the answers that have been showed in this discussion still not enough. So, I would like know if replication is better than repetition, because this design technique can bring us aditional information, such as the effects of the some condition or machine or operator or raw material.
0May 1, 2009 at 2:42 pm #57743Replication is to repeat the whole set of combinations after all runs are done. Repetition is to repeat one experiment before doing another combination, which means doing the same combinations together before changing conditions. Replication is statistically better since it avoids systematic errors but more expensive.
