The impact of ordinal on response surface methodology
Abstract
Traditionally, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is cardinal in nature. Ordinal optimization was only introduced recently. Since ordinal optimization has been proven to be successful in certain applications, this paper aims to investigate whether ordinal optimization improves RSM by developing ordinal RSM and comparing it with cardinal RSM in terms of efficiency, accuracy and consistency. Assuming that the performances of systems can be expressed as functions of their parameters, both ordinal and cardinal RSM are simulated for several simple multivariable mathematical functions and the effectiveness of ordinal RSM evaluated. It was found that ordinal does not always improve RSM, especially in functions which exhibit a large gradient change over a small region.

Robust optimization for multiple responses using response surface methodology
Typically in the analysis of industrial data for product-process optimization, there are many response variables that are under investigation at the same time. Robustness is also an important concept in industrial optimization. Here, robustness means ...
