KITCHENER, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 2, 2025 / "SigmaXL was designed from the ground up to be a cost-effective, powerful, but easy to use tool that enables users to measure, analyze, improve and control their service, transactional, and manufacturing processes. As an add-in to the already familiar Microsoft Excel, SigmaXL is ideal for Lean Six Sigma training or use in a college statistics course. Version 11 adds Advanced Design of Experiments and Overlay Histograms," said John Noguera, CTO, SigmaXL.

New features in Version 11 include:

New Graphical Tools

• Overlay Histograms & Descriptive Statistics

• Interaction Plots

Advanced Design of Experiments (DOE)

Extends DOE functionality to include:

• Improved 2-Level Factorial/Screening Designs:

  • Expanded catalog with up to 128 design runs

  • Up to 19 Continuous and/or Categorical Factors

  • Aliasing of Effects Report with Interactions to Specified Order

• Augment 2-Level Factorial/Screening Design:

  • Foldover Design

  • Add Center/Axial Points

  • Replicate Design

• General Full Factorial Designs:

  • 1 to 10 Categorical Factors with up to 10 Levels

  • Use 1 Categorical Factor with Block on Replicates for Randomized Complete Block Design

• Improved Response Surface Designs:

  • Expanded catalog with up to 128 design (cube) runs

  • Up to 8 Continuous Factors and 10 Categorical Factors with 8 Levels

  • Central Composite Designs with Minimal (2 center points), Uniform Precision or Orthogonal Blocks

  • Box-Behnken Designs for 3 to 7 Continuous Factors

• Definitive Screening Designs

  • Up to 19 Continuous and/or Categorical Factors

• Optimal Designs:

  • I-Optimal (recommended for response surface designs)

  • A-Optimal (recommended for screening designs)

  • 1 to 19 Continuous and/or Categorical Factors (maximum of 10 Categorical Factors with 10 Levels)

  • Continuous Factor linear constraint formulas

  • Report of Optimal Design Diagnostic Metrics and Model Term SE and VIF values

• Improved power calculator with detailed power information (2-Level Factorial/Screening, Augment and General Full Factorial Designs)

• Fraction of Design Space (FDS) Plots (Augment 2-Level Factorial/Screening for Add Center/Axial Points, Definitive Screening, Response Surface and Optimal Designs)

• Option for randomized or equally spaced center points (2-Level Factorial/Screening, Definitive Screening and Response Surface Designs)

• Randomize runs with Seed (Base) as Clock or Specified Value

• Analysis (for all designs) uses Advanced Multiple Regression, with options such as Stepwise/Best Subsets and includes Multiple Response Optimization
