Split-plot Designs with Mirror Image Pairs as Sub-plots
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article we investigate two-level split-plot designs where the sub-plots consist of only two mirror image trials. Assuming third and higher order interactions negligible, we show that these designs divide the estimated effects into two orthogonal sub-spaces, separating sub-plot main effects and sub-plot by whole-plot interactions from the rest. Further we show how to construct split-plot designs of projectivity P3 . We also introduce a new class of split-plot designs with mirror image pairs constructed from non-geometric Plackett-Burman designs. The design properties of such designs are very appealing with effects of major interest free from full aliasing assuming that 3rd and higher order interactions are negligible.

Update formulas for split-plot and block designs
For the algorithmic construction of optimal experimental designs, it is important to be able to evaluate small modifications of given designs in terms of the optimality criteria at a low computational cost. This can be achieved by using powerful update formulas for the optimality criteria during the design construction. The derivation of such update formulas for evaluating the impact of changes...
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 کاملAn Algorithm for Finding D-e cient Equivalent-Estimation Second-Order Split-Plot Designs
Many industrial experiments involve restricted rather than complete randomization. This often leads to the use of split-plot designs, which limit the number of independent settings of some of the experimental factors. These factors, named whole-plot factors, are often, in some way, hard to change. The remaining factors, called sub-plot factors, are easier to change. Their levels are therefore i...
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 کاملOn the Analysis of Balanced Two-Level Factorial Whole-Plot Saturated Split-Plot Designs
This paper considers an experimentation strategy when resource constraints permit only a single design replicate per time interval, and one or more design variables are hard-to-change. The experimental designs considered are two-level full or fractional factorial designs run as balanced split-plots. These designs are common in practice and appropriate for fitting a main effects plus interaction...
