Orthogonal minimally aliased response surface (OMARS) designs permit the study of quantitative factors at three levels using an economical number of runs. In these designs, the linear effects of the factors are neither aliased with each other nor …
There is an increasing need to understand the impact of environmental conditions on milled rice quality during postharvest handling and transportation, especially under real-industrial scenarios. In this study, the quality responses of three rice …
Two-level fractional factorial designs permit the study multiple factors using a limited number of runs. Traditionally, these designs are obtained from catalogs available in standard textbooks or statistical software. However, modern Large Language …
Background and Objectives
The objective of this study was to comprehensively evaluate the variation in milling efficiency and physicochemical attributes among Arkansas rice cultivars. To accomplish this, a total of 45 cultivars were analyzed, …
New machine-vision technologies like the John Deere See & Spray™ could provide the opportunity to reduce herbicide use by detecting weeds and target-spraying herbicides simultaneously. Experiments were conducted for 2 yr in Keiser, AR, and …
Design of Experiments (DoE) is a relevant class to undergraduate students in the sciences, because it teaches them how to plan, conduct, and analyze experiments. In the literature on DoE, there are several contributions to its pedagogy, such as …
Computer experiments can build computationally cheap statistical models to study complex computer models. These experiments are commonly conducted using maximin distance Latin hypercube designs (LHDs), generated using heuristic algorithms or …
Background and objectives Due to the emergence of new hybrid rice cultivars, rice processors must refine their processing protocols to maintain the production of high-quality products. This is crucial for the instant rice processing industry. …
Modern randomization methods in clinical trials are invariably adaptive, meaning that the assignment of the next subject to a treatment group uses the accumulated information in the trial. Some of the recent adaptive randomization methods use …
Variability in moisture content between rice kernels due to the drying process within a harvest batch can result in irregularities in yields and the functional quality of the final product. Investigating strategies to achieve greater uniformity in …
