Use the user-defined design to load you own design matrix. The user-defined design is read by HyperStudy and used like any other design. You must specify the number of runs (rows) and the number of columns in the specified matrix in the first row of the supplied file. Spaces, tabs, or commas can delimit the individual elements of the matrix. Each entry in a row is an integer to represent the assigned level for the corresponding variable: 1 is the first level, 2 is the second, 3 is the third, and so on.
An example of a user-defined design is shown below.

• | The advantage of using a user-defined design is that you can create your own design based on individual requirements. |
• | The user defined matrix uses integers to represent the corresponding level of the variable. This is in contrast to the run matrix DOE, which contains exact values of the variables. |
• | The number of levels specified in the file must be consistent with the number of variable levels specified in the HyperStudy user interface. |
• | Imported values are mapped to the independent variables. |
• | Any data in the inclusion matrix is combined with the run data for post-processing. Any run matrix point which is already part of the inclusion data will not be rerun. |
In the Specifications step, you can change the following setting of User-Defined Design from the Settings tab.
