Abstract:

Throughout the literature on design of experiments, the need to perform confirmation runs has been emphasized repeatedly. We provide a high-level framework for design of experiments and discuss how the confirmation phase is becoming increasingly important. However, the literature provides little guidance for assessing the confirmation runs or how many confirmation runs to perform. We will discuss the following four questions: 1. Why is confirmation needed in practice? 2. How do I know the confirmation is successful? 3. How many confirmation runs are needed? 4. What if I fail the confirmation?
