Critical issues that can arise from blind adherence to the concept of a "desirability function" are demonstrated.
Abstract
First introduced in 1965, the concept of a "desirability function" has gained wide acceptance as a method of determining parameter settings to optimize a process with multiple output measurements. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid to the underlying assumptions of decision theory on which the procedure is based. This paper demonstrates critical issues that can arise from blind adherence to this procedure.

Quantifying the chemical beauty of drugs

TL;DR: The utility of QED is extended by applying it to the problem of molecular target druggability assessment by prioritizing a large set of published bioactive compounds and may also capture the abstract notion of aesthetics in medicinal chemistry.

Multicriteria optimization using a genetic algorithm for determining a Pareto set

TL;DR: A method that incorporates the concept of Pareto's domination would be more interesting because it would permit more general use and be more satisfactory to obtain an optimal surface in which the user will be able to choose his own working conditions.

Design space approach in the optimization of the spray-drying process.

TL;DR: A predictive risk-based approach was set up in order to account for the uncertainties and correlations found in the process and in the derived critical quality attributes such as the yield, the moisture content, the inhalable fraction of powder, the compressibility index, and the Hausner ratio.

Statistical Process Optimization Through Multi-Response Surface Methodology

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a robust robust design methodology based on multi-response surface methodology (MRSM), which can resolve a complex parameter design problem with more than two responses.

Optimization of multiple responses considering both location and dispersion effects

TL;DR: An integrated modeling approach to simultaneously optimizing both the location and dispersion effects of multiple responses is proposed, which overcomes the common limitation of the existing multiresponse approaches.

Modified Desirability Functions for Multiple Response Optimization

TL;DR: Modified desirability functions that are everywhere differentiable are presented so that more efficient gradient-based optimization methods can be used instead of search methods to optimize the overall desIRability response.

A Balancing Act: Optimizing a Product's Properties

C George
TL;DR: Property balance problems can be solved by using a modified formula of E.C. Harrington’s desirability function and combining it with response surface methodology (RSM) to form a methodology called desIRability optimization methodology (DOM).
