TLDR
Monte Carlo studies of a modification of the original version of the half-normal plot and four new versions are reported, indicating that the proportion of real contrasts declared significant, is larger for one of the new versions than for the original versions.
Abstract
Monte Carlo studies of a modification of the original version of the half-normal plot (Daniel, Technometrics, 1 (1959), 311–341) and four new versions are reported. Data representative of the 15 contrasts from a 2p–q , p – q = 4, factorial experirnenl. are generated. Design parameters in the Main Simiulation Study are the probability error rate, the number of real contrasts, and the size of the real contrasts. The critical values used by the various versions control the probability error rate. These critical values are considerably different, than those given by Daniel. The Monte Carlo strtdies indicate that the detection rate, i.e., the proportion of real contrasts declared significant, is larger for one of the new versions than for the original version. The detection rate of all versions decreases drastically when the number of real contrasts present increases from one to two to four. Nomination procedures for analyzing single replication 24 factorial experiments have a smaller detection rate than the h...

Guidance for robustness/ruggedness tests in method validation.

TL;DR: The different steps in a robustness test are discussed and illustrated with examples and recommendations for the different steps are based on approaches found in the literature, several case studies performed by the authors and discussions of the authors within a commission of the French SFSTP.

On Measuring and Correcting the Effects of Data Mining and Model Selection

TL;DR: The concept of GDF offers a unified framework under which complex and highly irregular modeling procedures can be analyzed in the same way as classical linear models and many difficult problems can be solved easily.

Use of Half-Normal Plots in Interpreting Factorial Two-Level Experiments

Cuthbert Daniel
- 01 Nov 1959 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the empirical cumulative distribution of the usual set of orthogonal contrasts computed from a 2 p experiment on a special grid may be used to estimate the error standard deviation and to make judgments about the reality of the observed effects.

- 01 Jul 1964 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a normal random variable X may be generated in terms of uniform random variables (i.e., X = 2(u_1+ u_2 + u_3 - 1.5) ), in 86 percent of the time.
