RSSP- A Fortran Simulation Package for Use in Teaching Response Surface Methodology

Abstract

The Response Surface Simulation Package (RSSP) consists of three Fortran programs that assist in the teaching of Response Surface Methodology. The programs operate on an IBM (or compatible) personal computer. The package helps bridge the gap between theory and practice which is often difficult to do in a classroom setting. The thesis details the background and objectives of the computer package and a review of Response Surface Methodology theory. The simulation package assumes the user has a sufficient background in experimental design, multiple linear regression, and analysis of variance. The thesis also includes the Fortran source code for the programs as well as detailed instructor and student manuals. Further, sample outputs from the three programs are provided. A major objective of this work is to make the programs user friendly, for both the instructor and student. This allows the student to gain a great deal of knowledge about practical experimental design and Response Surface Methodology.
