Mixture Experiment Design

Mixture experiment design is a class of constrained experimental design in which the factors are the proportions of components in a blend, subject to the constraint that all proportions sum to one. The framework was formalised by Henry Scheffé in 1958 and covers simplex-lattice, simplex-centroid, and D-optimal mixture designs widely used in pharmaceutical formulation, food science, and materials research.
