ABSTRACT

Mixture designs are a type of factorial design that is used to find the best composition when there is a mixture of ingredients. An important contribution to this kind of designs was made by Scheffe´ (1958, 1963). A nearly complete overview over the literature of mixture problems is given by Cornell (1973). For further reading, see Becker (1970), Cornell (2002), Draper et al. (2000), Draper and Pukelsheim (1999) and McLean and Anderson (1966), and for a sequential approach, Palasota et al. (1992).
