Definition

design point where one factor is set at its middle level and all other factors are set at high or low levels

Explanatory Notes

At an edge point, one factor is set at its middle level and the remaining factors are set at high or low levels. In a three-factor Box–Behnken design, the non-center design points are edge points. Edge points can support estimation of interaction and quadratic effects without including the corner points of the studied region.

Examples

  • In a three-factor formulation study with excipient concentration levels of 2 %, 4 %, and 6 %, temperature levels of 20 Β°C, 25 Β°C, and 30 Β°C, and relative-humidity levels of 40 %, 55 %, and 70 %, the design point specifying 4 % excipient concentration, 20 Β°C, and 70 % relative humidity is an edge point.
