ADXINIT: Set Global Macro Variables

%adxinit

The following macro variables are used for global communication between the various macros:

ADXDS the name of the data set that contains the last design constructed

ADXFIT the correct model to fit to a fractional factorial design. ADXFIT contains the right-hand side of the model that you can use to analyze the design with a regression procedure. ADXFIT contains a model with main-effect terms, and possibly, two-factor interactions (depending on the resolution of the design). The variable does not contain models with three-factor or higher interactions.

ADXNB the number of blocks in the current design

ADXNF the number of factors in the current design

ADXNFIT the number of terms in the correct model for a fractional factorial design

ADXRES the resolution of a fractional factorial design

ADXVLST the list of factor names for the current design

Whenever you start a new design, you must initialize these variables to null values by calling the ADXINIT macro. Note that the ADXINIT macro does not need to be used each time you use one of the other macros; use it only when you start a new design.
