Blocked Regular Fractional Factorial Designs With Minimum Aberration
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper considers the construction of minimum aberration (MA) blocked factorial designs. Based on coding theory, the concept of minimum moment aberration due to Xu (2003) for unblocked designs is extended to blocked designs. The coding theory approach studies designs in a row-wise fashion and therefore links blocked designs with nonregular and supersaturated designs. A lower bound on blocked wordlength pattern is established. It is shown that a blocked design has MA if it originates from an unblocked MA design and achieves the lower bound. It is also shown that a regular design can be partitioned into maximal blocks if and only if it contains a row without zeros. Sufficient conditions are given for constructing MA blocked designs from unblocked MA designs. The theory is then applied to construct MA blocked designs for all 32 runs, 64 runs up to 32 factors, and all 81 runs with respect to four combined wordlength patterns.

Generalized Resolution and Minimum Aberration for Nonregular Fractional Factorial Designs
Seeking the optimal design with a given number of runs is a main problem in fractional factorial designs(FFDs). Resolution of a design is the most widely usage criterion, which is introduced by Box and Hunter(1961), used to be employed to regular FFDs. The resolution criterion is extended to non-regular FFG, called the generalized resolution criterion. This criterion is providing the idea of ge...
متن کاملGeneralized Minimum Aberration for Asymmetrical Fractional Factorial Designs
By studying treatment contrasts and ANOVA models, we propose a generalized minimum aberration criterion for comparing asymmetrical fractional factorial designs. The criterion is independent of the choice of treatment contrasts and thus model-free. It works for symmetrical and asymmetrical designs, regular and nonregular designs. In particular, it reduces to the minimum aberration criterion for ...
متن کاملMaximal Rank - Minimum Aberration Regular Two-Level Split-Plot Fractional Factorial Designs
Regular two-level fractional factorial designs are often used in industrial experiments as screening experiments. When some factors have levels which are hard or expensive to change, restrictions are often placed on the order in which runs can be performed, resulting in a split-plot factorial design. In these cases, the hard or expensive to change factors are applied to whole plots, whereas the...
متن کاملOptimal Two-Level Regular Fractional Factorial Block and Split-Plot Designs
SUMMARY We propose a general and unified approach to the selection of regular fractional factorial designs which can be applied to experiments that are unblocked, blocked, with random or fixed block effects, or have a split-plot structure. Our criterion is derived as a good surrogate for the model-robustness criterion of information capacity. In the case of random block effects, it takes the ra...

Considering general prime or prime powered factorials, we give a nite projective geometric formulation for regular fractional factorial split-plot designs. This provides a uniied framework for such designs and facilitates their systematic study under the criteria of minimum aberration and minimum secondary aberration; the latter criterion is introduced to achieve ner discrimination. We investig...
