The Profiler
Figure 24.9 Maximization Options Window
Maximize for Each Grid Point can only be used if one or more factors are locked. The ranges of the
locked factors are divided into a grid, and the desirability is maximized at each grid point. This is useful
if the model you are profiling has categorical factors; then the optimal condition can be found for each
combination of the categorical factors.
Save Desirabilities saves the three desirability function settings for each response, and the associated
desirability values, as a Response Limits column property in the data table. These correspond to the
coordinates of the handles in the desirability plots.
Set Desirabilities
brings up a dialog where specific desirability values can be set.

Save Desirability Formula creates a column in the data table with a formula for Desirability. The
formula uses the fitting formula when it can, or the response variables when it can’t access the fitting
formula.
Reset Factor Grid displays a dialog for each value allowing you to enter specific values for a factor’s
current settings. See the section “Setting or Locking a Factor’s Values” on page 561 for details on these
dialog boxes.
