In a dynamic experiment, the quality characteristic operates over a range of values, and the goal is to improve the relationship between an input signal factor and an output response. When enabled, you can name the signal factor and define its levels in the <b>Factors table</b> below. |

| 58 | +<td>Click the <b>+</b> button to specify which interactions you want to estimate. Origin can assign factors to specific columns of the orthogonal array to allow estimation of selected two-way interactions. Note that Taguchi designs primarily emphasize main effects; only certain arrays (such as L18 or modified L16) support interaction estimation, and higher-order interactions are typically confounded with main effects. |
