Introduction to response surface methodology (RSM)

This video introduces response surface methodology. The general principles and the method of steepest ascent is in focus in this video.

This video was recorded by Dr. Erik Vanhatalo, Quality technology and logistics, Luleå University of Technology (LTU), Sweden. The primary purpose of this video is to be learning material for undergraduate and graduate students following a course in design and analysis of experiments at LTU. The course book used in these courses are primarily: Montgomery, D.C. (2013). Design and Analysis of Experiments. Wiley.
