Coefficients Table - Coefficients

  

Each term in the model has a coefficient. Use the coefficients to construct an equation representing the relationship between the response and the factors.

To use this equation, use Stat > DOE > Factorial > Predict to calculate the predictions and confidence intervals for predictor values that you specify.

Interpretation

For the insulation data, the regression equation is:

Natural log of standard deviation (Strength) = 0.3424 - 0.4799(Material) - 0.0922(InjPress) + 0.0278(InjTemp) - 0.0629(CoolTemp) - 0.4959(Material*InjPress) + 0.0937(Material*InjTemp) + 0.0028(Material*CoolTemp) - 0.0396(InjPress*InjTemp) - 0.0450(InjPress*CoolTemp) + 0.0033(InjTemp*CoolTem)

You may want to refit the model excluding the nonsignificant terms.
