A Review of Analysis of Dynamic Response in Design of Experiments

Systems with dynamic characteristics have gained increasing attention of both researchers and engineers in industry in recent years. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of investigations on what might be called dynamic response in experimental design, so as to facilitate further research in this area. We briefly review the development of research on dynamic problems in diverse fields such as statistical quality control, biostatistics, experimental design and repeated measurements. Discussions in the past are specially sorted out on the definition and classification of dynamic response problems as encountered in general experimental design and robust design, and various perspectives of system types and response types. Four categories of modelling techniques in classical experimental design are summarized from the literature according to distinct application conditions; this would provide a useful basis for future investigations.
