    On the sensitivity of desirability functions for multiresponse optimization
    (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2008-11) Aksezer, Sezgin Çağlar
    Desirability functions have been one of the most important multiresponse optimization technique since the early eighties. Main reasons for this popularity might be counted as the convenience of the implementation of the method and it's availability in many experimental design software packages. Technique itself involves somehow subjective parameters such as the importance coefficients between response characteristics that are used to calculate overall desirability, weights used in determining the shape of each individual response and the size of the specification band of the response. However, the impact of these sensitive parameters on the solution set is mostly uninvestigated. This paper proposes a procedure to analyze the sensitivity of the important characteristic parameters of desirability functions and their impact on pareto-optimal solution set. The proposed procedure uses the experimental design tools on the solution space and estimates a prediction equation on the overall desirability to identify the sensitive parameters. For illustration, a classical desirability example is selected from the literature and results are given along with the discussion.

    Probability distributions and variances of quadratic loss functions
    (2006) Benneyan, James C.; Aksezer, Sezgin Çağlar
    The use of quadratic loss functions has been advocated in quality engineering and experimental design for process optimization and robust design. We derive theoretical density functions and variances for nominal-the-best, smaller-the-better, and larger-the-better quadratic loss functions in general and when the response variable has a specified distribution. While considerable attention has been given to individual and mean loss, in some applications it is of interest also to know something about the loss distribution and variance. Results frequently exhibit high variance and skew and unique density functions in cases for which it is not advisable to base decisions on expected loss alone.
