Sensitivity Analysis with Box-Behnken Design

Sensitivity analysis with Box-Behnken design combines a resource-efficient three-level response surface experiment with a systematic assessment of how much each input factor drives variation in the response. The Box-Behnken design (BBD) fits a second-order polynomial model using fewer runs than a full central composite design, while the overlaid sensitivity analysis quantifies each factor's relative influence — helping engineers and researchers distinguish the vital few drivers from the inconsequential many.
