Scatter plots allow you to view the raw data plotted against another variable. You can also plot the raw values against the trial count.
Work Space Column Calculator
The Workspace column calculator enables you to perform mathematical operations on the columns of an existing workspace.
To use the work space column calculator:
1. From the Tools menu, select Work Space Column Calculator.
3. Select OK.
Notes: | ■The following are predefined variables in the Work Space Column Calculator: ■rtod for radians to degrees conversion ■dtor for degrees to radians conversion ■curRow for the integer value of the current row (this is a zero-based index) ■Another class of predefined variables is the factor values. To access these values, use the factor abbreviation. |
Work Space Correlations
Correlation can be used to measure the potential strength of relationship or lack of relationship between two variables. By numerically quantifying the amount of scatter of the data, correlations can often provide a greater understanding of the system you're investigating. Correlation values in Adams Insight will range between -1 and +1. If the scatter of the data forms a straight line, the linear correlation value will have a value of one (negative one if the slope is negative).
■Positive correlations indicate that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.
■Negative correlations indicate that as one variable increases, the other variable increases.
■Linear correlations (Pearson) indicate that the scatter of the data is "cigar shaped" or elliptical.
■Nonlinear correlations (Spearman or rank) indicate that the scatter is irregular (that is, has clusters).
■Higher absolute correlation values indicate a stronger correlation.
■Correlation values below 0.5 generally indicate a chaotic relationship between the variables.
■Nonlinearities of the system may confuse correlation index.

Work Space
The Work Space is a matrix with the rows indicating the runs and the columns identifying the factor settings and resulting response values in engineering units. It is sometimes referred to as the run matrix.

Work Space Review
The Work Space Review enables you to do preliminary investigations of the raw data from the work space. This can be achieved by graphically reviewing the histograms which depict the distribution of the column values.
