RSM is a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques that is useful for modeling and analyzing problems when the response of interest is influenced by severd factors, and the objective is to optimize (either niinimize or maximize) the optimal function of these responses. RSM is typically used to optimize the optimal function by estimating an input-response functional forms when the exact functional relationships are not known or veiy complicated (see Box and Draper 1987, Khuri and Cornell 1987, and Myers and Montgomery 2002). To a comprehensive presentation of RSM,...
