Mosaic plots are useful for visualizing low order projections of factorial designs

چکیده
Factorial experiments are widely used in industrial experimentation and other fields. Whenever a factorial experiment is not designed as a full factorial but as a – regular or non-regular – fraction thereof, choice between competing designs and interpretation of experimental results should take into consideration how the experimental plan will confound experimental effects. This article proposes mosaic plots of low order projections of factorial designs for visualizing confounding of low order effects. Mosaic plots are particularly useful for design and analysis of orthogonal main effects plans. The R code for creation of the plots in this article is available in the supplemental material online.

Fitting Second-order Models to Mixed Two-level and Four-level Factorial Designs: Is There an Easier Procedure?
Fitting response surface models is usually carried out using statistical packages to solve complicated equations in order to produce the estimates of the model coefficients. This paper proposes a new procedure for fitting response surface models to mixed two-level and four-level factorial designs. New and easier formulae are suggested to calculate the linear, quadratic and the interaction coeff...
متن کاملDesigning fractional factorial split-plot experiments with few whole-plot factors
When it is impractical to perform the experimental runs of a fractional factorial design in a completely random order, restrictions on the randomization can be imposed. The resulting design is said to have a split-plot, or nested, error structure. Similarly to fractional factorials, fractional factorial split-plot designs can be ranked by using the aberration criterion.Techniques that generate ...
متن کاملVisualizing Simple Logistic Regression Models using Mosaic Plots
For categorical data, the relationship between visual displays of the data and models is not very well explored, even though for categorical data and loglinear models strong relationships do exist. Starting from assessing odds ratios visually, interaction effects of variables can be examined using mosaic plots. Cumulative link models provide a way to describe trends between ordinal variables. I...
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 کاملVisualizing Independence Using Extended Association and Mosaic Plots
Two visualization techniques for the independence problem in 2-way contingency tables—assocation and mosaic plots—are extended in two directions: 1. The visualization is enhanced by displaying the significance of an appropriate test for independence and by using improved color schemes. 2. The implementation in the R system is improved using a more modular design and allowing for more flexible s...
