AT&T Wafer Experiment

SUMMARY:

The wafer data frame has 18 rows and 13 columns, of which 8 contain factors, 4 contain responses, and one is the auxiliary variable N . It is a design object based on an orthogonal-array design for an experiment in which two integrated circuit wafers were made for each combination of factors, and on each wafer the pre- and post-etch line widths were measured five times. The response variables are the mean and deviance of the measurements. As 3 of the wafers were broken, the auxiliary variable N gives the number of measurements actually made. This data frame contains the following columns:

ARGUMENTS:
