The following information is required for conversion from pseudo to real.
Convert Pseudo limits (0 = minimum, 1 = maximum) to proportion (real) limits.

Compute the sum of the low real settings (∑L). It is used for L_pseudo conversion.
The Pseudo model example:
QuadraticPseudo=β1A+β2B+β3C+β12AB+β13AC+β23BC
Insignificant terms with a near zero coefficient should be included in this model.
L=q∑i=1Li
Rewrite the model substituting…
Xi−Li1−L for each component, while replacing the X with the component ID being replaced.
The rewrite of the Pseudo Example is:
Expand all terms and combine like terms, starting with higher order terms first.
Showing the BC quadratic term as an example. Use this procedure for each quadratic term.
β23B−BL1−LC−CL1−L
β23BC−BLC−CLB+BLCL(1−L)2
β23[BC(1−L)2+−BLC(1−L)2+−CLB(1−L)2+BLCL(1−L)2]
The BC coefficient is changed to β23/(1−L)2 in the real model.
−β23BL/(1−L)2 is a correction that will be applied to the C coefficient.
−β23CL/(1−L)2 is a correction that will be applied to the B coefficient.
BLCL/(1−L)2 is a constant which requires special handling.
From the mixture design property of a constant total, we know that A+B+C=1 in terms of the reals. Rewrite BLCL as BLCL⋅1 and substitute [A+B+C] for 1, yielding BLCL⋅[A+B+C]. When expanded, the result is an adjustment to all the linear coefficients of β23BLCL /(1−L)2.
Showing the C term as the example. Use this procedure for all the linear terms.
β3C−CL1−L=β3[C1−L+−CL1−L]
β3/(1−L) is the base coefficient for the C linear effect. This will be adjusted by quadratic and other linear effect adjustments.
−CL/(1−L) is a constant which is treated the same as the quadratic term’s constant becoming, −β3CL/(1−L)⋅[A+B+C]. Each linear term creates an adjustment to all linear terms.
After working through each term in the model, combine like terms into new coefficients for the real model.
βA=β11−L−β1AL+β2BL+β3CL1−L+β12(ALBL−BL)+β13(ALCL−CL)+β23(BLCL)(1−L)2
βB=β21−L−β1AL+β2BL+β3CL1−L+β12(ALBL−AL)+β23(BLCL−CL)+β13(ALCL)(1−L)2
βC=β31−L−β1AL+β2BL+β3CL1−L+β13(ALCL−AL)+β23(BLCL−BL)+β23(ALBL)(1−L)2
βAB=β12(1−L)2
βAC=β13(1−L)2
βBC=β23(1−L)2
