    Hi there,

    I am currently trying to use Minitab DOE to analyse some factors in terms of their significance and main effects. When I tried using the analyse factorial design function, I can choose the order of the terms I want and whether I want to include any interactions into the analysis.

    By having different order terms included in the analysis - the result in terms of the identified significant factors are different. Factor B was deemed insignificant when using only the single-order terms (see image below for reference).

    Can anyone please help to advise as to why this happens? Thank you.
