Contour Plots Output

When you complete the Make Contour Plots sequence, three files are created for each designated slice. Currently, the first name of each of these files represents the response variable and the number of the slice. The extension indicates the type of the files. Thus: ExperimentName_ResponseName_SliceNumber.Extension, or Coal_Mehtane_1.prd, for example.

.prd Files

The .prd files are the arrays of values that are used to produce the various graphs. If you desire more sophisticated graphs than STRATEGY for Windows currently provides, you may import these arrays into most graphical modeling tools.

.lim Files

Files end with the extension .lim contain the confidence limits table associated with the matching .prd array.

.rfl Files

Files end with the extension .rfl contain the remaining factor levels associated with the matching .prd array.

.lst Files

Files end with the extension .lst contain the list of the plot array (.prd) files that the contour plots are generated from..
