Max-Kon-Min principle

The Max-Kon-Min principle is a principle of planning an experiment . The principle says:

• Max imitate the primary variance .
• Kon trolliere the secondary variance .
• Min imate the error variance .

When planning an experiment, the influence of the independent variables on the dependent variables should be maximized in order to control disturbances that can unintentionally influence the dependent variable and thus to minimize the error variance (test planning).
