Question:

In Problem 8-26, you met Harry and Judy Peterson-Nedry, two friends of the author who have a winery and vineyard in Newberg, Oregon. That problem described the application of two-level fractional factorial designs to their 1985 Pinot Noir product. In 1987, they wanted to conduct another Pinot Noir experiment. The variables for this experiment were 

Variable

Levels

Clone of Pinot Noir

Wadenswil, Pommard

Berry size

Small, large

Fermentation temperature

80°F, 85°F, 90/80°F, 90°F

Whole berry

None, 10%

Maceration time

10 days, 21 days

Yeast type

Assmanhau, Champagne

Oak type

Troncais, Allier


Harry and Judy decided to use a 16-run two-level fractional factorial design, treating the four levels of fermentation temperature as two two-level variables. As in Problem 8-26, they used the rankings from a taste-test panel as the response variable. The design and the resulting average ranks are shown below:

 Oak Average Rank Whole Маcer. Time Yeast Ветy Size Ferm. Run Clone Temp. Berry Туре Туре 1 4 10 3 6. 4 9 5 + 11 + 1 15 8. 12 10 2 11 16 12 3 13 8 14 14 15 7 16 13 | + + 1 +


(a) Describe the aliasing in this design.

(b) Analyze the data and draw conclusions.

(c) What comparisons can you make between this experiment and the 1985 Pinot Noir experiment from Problem 8-26?
