Planning Experiments to Test the Adequacy of Non‐Linear Models

M. J. Box

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1969, vol. 18, issue 3, 241-248

Abstract: The experimenter often has to decide whether a given non‐linear mathematical model adequately represents the phenomenon under investigation. When further experiments may be done to resolve this question, existing formulations for experimental design are inappropriate for reasons which are explained. A new strategy is proposed in which experiments are designed to discriminate between the given model and empirical models such as polynomials, and the method is illustrated with simulated examples.
