Optimal Fractional Factorial Split-plot Designs for Model Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. The approach is Bayesian and directly incorporates common experimenter assumptions. By specifying prior distributions for the model space, the criterion for fractional factorial split-plot designs aims to discriminate between the most probable competing models. Techniques for evaluating the criterion and searching for optimal designs are proposed. The criterion is then illustrated through a few examples with further discussion on the choice of hyperparameters and flexibility of the criterion.

Optimal 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...
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 کاملFactorial and Fractional Factorial Designs with Randomization Restrictions - a Projective Geometric Approach
Two-level factorial and fractional factorial designs have played a prominent role in the theory and practice of experimental design. Though commonly used in industrial experiments to identify the significant effects, it is often undesirable to perform the trials of a factorial design (or, fractional factorial design) in a completely random order. Instead, restrictions are imposed on the randomi...
متن کاملMultistratum Fractional Factorial Designs
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 p...
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 ...
