Box-Behnken Design

The Box-Behnken design (BBD) is an efficient response surface methodology design that fits a full second-order polynomial model using three levels of each factor. Introduced by Box and Behnken in 1960, it places experimental points at the midpoints of the edges of a hypercube and at the center, avoiding the corner points where all factors are simultaneously at their extreme levels. This structure makes BBD particularly attractive when extreme-level combinations are physically impossible, costly, or unsafe to test.
