[Feature Request]: Target Optimizer for DoE in JASP

[RolandWinkler72]

Description

I am missing an automatic function in JASP to hit a target value for a DoE design once the design is analysed and optimized

Purpose

To calculate the best fit of input parameters to hit a specified output of a factorial design of a DoE.

Use-case

I am Trainer for Six Sigma Black Belts in the Safran Group. JASP is an essential part of our training. We show the DoE during the training including an exercise. The students should calculate the best set of paramters to hit a specified output of a factorial design.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

No problem, I miss a feature in JASP

Is your feature request related to a JASP module?

Quality Control

Describe the solution you would like

After having established a factorial design and after having analyzed and optimized the design I want to calculate the best fit of parameters to hit a specified target output (like it is done with Minitab)

Describe alternatives that you have considered

I think it is possible to calculate the optimized target with ANOVA or with a regression in JASP or with another software like Minitab (or Excel) but it's much more efficient to stay in JASP and to do it automatically.

Additional context

I am trainer for Black Belts in the Safran Group. The Safran Group has recently changed from Minitab to JASP. We undergo the DoE during the BB training including the target optimization. Now we face the issue that JASP is not providing the automatic calculation of the target value in the DoE module.
We are about 20 trainers who face the same issue. We are training 60 - 80 Black Belts per year who are also affected.

Thank you for the request. Is this what they refer to as "Response Optimizer" in Minitab? Or is this the "Predict" function that you would use for that? (see below)

[RolandWinkler72]

Thank you for being so quickly.
I refer to the response optimizer in Minitab

[JTPetter]

Great, I am currently working on this and hope to have it ready for the next version!

[RolandWinkler72]

That's great!
Can you predict when the next version will be issued?

[JTPetter]

Not very well, but since the last release was very recent I would guess between 3 - 8 months.

[RolandWinkler72]

OK, thanks for your input.
Will I be informed once the request is solved ?

[JTPetter]

Yes, once the code with this feature is added to JASP this request will automatically be closed and you should receive a notification from GitHub. But note it might still take considerable time after this until the new version containing this code is released.

I have another request related to this topic. Is it possible to optimize the response for more than only 1 response variable ?

[JTPetter]

This functionality is planned, yes.
