Multistratum Fractional Factorial Designs

چکیده
Recent work on multistratum fractional factorial designs is set in a general and unified framework, and a criterion for selecting multistratum fractional factorial designs that takes stratum variances into account is proposed. Application of the general theory is illustrated on designs of experiments with multiple processing stages, including split-lot designs, blocked strip-plot designs, and post-fractionated strip-block designs. In particular, this helps elucidate the relationship between the three different design settings studied by Miller (1997), Bingham et al (2008), and Vivacqua and Bisgaard (2009). The construction and selection of two-stage designs in these settings are shown to be equivalent. Good designs based on our criterion are found and compared with those tabulated in Vivacqua and Bisgaard (2009).

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 کاملWhole-Plot Exchange Algorithms for Constructing D-Optimal Multistratum Designs
Multistratum experiments contain several different sizes of experimental units. Examples include split-plot, strip-plot designs, and randomized block designs. We propose a strategy for constructing a D-optimal multistratum design by improving a randomly generated design through a sequence of whole-plot exchanges. This approach preserves the design structure and simplifies updates to the informa...
متن کاملOptimal Fractional Factorial Split-plot Designs for Model Selection
Fractional factorial designs are used widely in screening experiments to identify significant effects. It is not always possible to perform the trials in a complete random order and hence, fractional factorial split-plot designs arise. In order to identify optimal fractional factorial split-plot designs in this setting, the Hellinger distance criterion (Bingham and Chipman (2007)) is adapted. T...
متن کاملSelection of Non-Regular Fractional Factorial Designs When Some Two-Factor Interactions are Important
Non-regular two-level fractional factorial designs, such as Plackett–Burman designs, are becoming popular choices in many areas of scientific investigation due to their run size economy and flexibility. The run size of nonregular two-level factorial designs is a multiple of 4. They fill the gaps left by the regular twolevel fractional factorial designs whose run size is always a power of 2 (4, ...
متن کاملGeometric Aliasing, Generalized Deening Relations, and Grr Obner Basis: a New Look at Multi-level Factorial Designs
Multi-level factorial designs are useful in experiments but their aliasing structure are complex compare to two-level fractional factorial designs. A new framework is proposed to study the complex aliasing of those designs. Geometric aliasing is deened for factorial designs. It generalize of the aliasing relation of regular two level fractional fac-torial designs to all factorial designs. Based...
