Optimal main effect plans with non-orthogonal blocks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Work on obtaining optimal main effect plans in non-orthogonal blocks was initiated recently by Mukerjee, Dey & Chatterjee (2002), who gave a set of sufficient conditions for a main effect plan to be universally optimal under possibly non-orthogonal blocking and also suggested a construction procedure for obtaining such block designs. Their method is however, not applicable for all factorials. In this paper, a new construction procedure is given for situations where the procedure of Mukerjee et al. (2002) is inapplicable.

In this paper we define the concept of orthogonality between two factors ”through another factor”. Exploiting this property we have been able to obtain orthogonal main effect plans (OMEP) on non-orthogonal blocks requiring considerably smaller number of blocks than the existing methods. We have also constructed saturated partially orthogonal main effect plans (MEPs) for (i) an n.2 experiment an...
متن کاملOn the Optimality of Blocked Main Effects Plans
In this article, experimental situations are considered where a main effects plan is to be used to study m two-level factors using n runs which are partitioned into b blocks, not necessarily of same size. Assuming the block sizes to be even for all blocks, for the case n ≡ 2 (mod 4), optimal designs are obtained with respect to type 1 and type 2 optimality criteria in the class of designs provi...
متن کاملUse of Resolvable Designs in Field and on Farm Experiments
1. Introduction Resolvable designs, though introduced in the combinatorial context, have found their utility in field experiments. The concept of resolvability is due to Bose (1942) who defined this for a balanced incomplete block (BIB) design. A BIB design is an arrangement of v treatments into b blocks such that each block contains k (< v) distinct treatments, each treatment appears in r bloc...
متن کاملOptimal Foldover Plans for Two-Level Nonregular Orthogonal Designs
This article considers optimal foldover plans for nonregular designs. By using the indicator function, we de ne words with fractional lengths. The extended word-length pattern is then used to select among nonregular foldover designs. Some general properties of foldover designs are obtained using the indicator function. We prove that the full-foldover plan that reverses the signs of all factors...
متن کاملQuasi-orthogonal Arrays and Optimal Fractional Factorial Plans
Generalizing orthogonal arrays, a new class of arrays called quasiorthogonal arrays, are introduced and it is shown that fractional factorial plans represented by these arrays are universally optimal under a wide class of models. Some methods of construction of quasi-orthogonal arrays are also described.
