Generalized resolution and minimum aberration criteria for plackett-burman and other nonregular factorial designs

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized resolution criterion is defined and used for assessing non-regular fractional factorials, notably Plackett-Burman designs, which is intended to capture projection properties, complementing that of Webb (1964) whose concept of resolution concerns the estimability of lower order fractional fractional factors under the assumption that higher order effects are negligible.
Abstract: Resolution has been the most widely used criterion for comparing regular fractional factorials since it was introduced in 1961 by Box and Hunter. In this pa- per, we examine how a generalized resolution criterion can be defined and used for assessing nonregular fractional factorials, notably Plackett-Burman designs. Our generalization is intended to capture projection properties, complementing that of Webb (1964) whose concept of resolution concerns the estimability of lower order ef- fects under the assumption that higher order effects are negligible. Our generalized resolution provides a fruitful criterion for ranking different designs while Webb's resolution is mainly useful as a classification rule. An additional advantage of our approach is that the idea leads to a natural generalization of minimum aberration. Examples are given to illustrate the usefulness of the new criteria.

TL;DR: In this article, an effective algorithm for the construction and the identification of two-level nonisomorphic orthogonal arrays is presented, and a full catalogue of OO arrays with parameters OA(24,7,2,t), OO(28,6, 2,t) and OA (32,6-2,2.t), t ≥ 2.
Abstract: In this paper we present an effective algorithm for the construction and the identification of two-level nonisomorphic orthogonal arrays. Using this algorithm, we identify and list a full catalogue of nonisomorphic orthogonal arrays with parameters OA(24,7,2,t), OA(28,6,2,t) and OA(32,6,2,t), t ≥ 2. Some statistical properties of these designs are also considered.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential of two-level orthogonal designs to fit models with main effects and two-factor interaction effects is commonly assessed through the correlation between contrast vectors involving these effects.
Abstract: The potential of two-level orthogonal designs to fit models with main effects and two-factor interaction effects is commonly assessed through the correlation between contrast vectors involving these effects. We study the complete catalog of nonisomorphic orthogonal two-level 24-run designs involving 3–23 factors and we identify the best few designs in terms of these correlations. By modifying an existing enumeration algorithm, we identify the best few 28-run designs involving 3–14 factors and the best few 36-run designs in 3–18 factors as well. Based on a complete catalog of 7570 designs with 28 runs and 27 factors, we also seek good 28-run designs with more than 14 factors. Finally, starting from a unique 31-factor design in 32 runs that minimizes the maximum correlation among the contrast vectors for main effects and two-factor interactions, we obtain 32-run designs that have low values for this correlation. To demonstrate the added value of our work, we provide a detailed comparison of our desi...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived two versions of generalized resolution for qualitative factors, both of which are generalizations of the generalized resolution by Deng and Tang [Statist. Sinica 9 (1999) 1071-1082] and Tang and Deng [Ann. Statist. 27 (1999] 1914-1926].
Abstract: The generalized word length pattern of an orthogonal array allows a ranking of orthogonal arrays in terms of the generalized minimum aberration criterion (Xu and Wu [Ann. Statist. 29 (2001) 1066-1077]). We provide a statistical interpretation for the number of shortest words of an orthogonal array in terms of sums of $R^2$ values (based on orthogonal coding) or sums of squared canonical correlations (based on arbitrary coding). Directly related to these results, we derive two versions of generalized resolution for qualitative factors, both of which are generalizations of the generalized resolution by Deng and Tang [Statist. Sinica 9 (1999) 1071-1082] and Tang and Deng [Ann. Statist. 27 (1999) 1914-1926]. We provide a sufficient condition for one of these to attain its upper bound, and we provide explicit upper bounds for two classes of symmetric designs. Factor-wise generalized resolution values provide useful additional detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of choosing a design such that the polynomial f(ξ) = f (ξ1, ξ2, · · ·, ξ k ) fitted by the method of least squares most closely represents the true function over some region of interest R in the ξ space, no restrictions being introduced that the experimental points should necessarily lie inside R, is considered.
Abstract: The general problem is considered of choosing a design such that (a) the polynomial f(ξ) = f(ξ1, ξ2, · · ·, ξ k ) in the k continuous variables ξ' = (ξ1, ξ2, · · ·, ξ k ) fitted by the method of least squares most closely represents the true function g(ξ1, ξ2, · · ·, ξ k ) over some “region of interest” R in the ξ space, no restrictions being introduced that the experimental points should necessarily lie inside R; and (b) subject to satisfaction of (a), there is a high chance that inadequacy of f(ξ) to represent g(ξ) will be detected. When the observations are subject to error, discrepancies between the fitted polynomial and the true function occur: i. due to sampling error (called here “variance error”), and ii. due to the inadequacy of the polynomial f(ξ) exactly to represent g(ξ) (called here “bias error”). To meet requirement (a) the design is selected so as to minimize J, the expected mean square error averaged over the region R. J contains two components, one associated entirely with varian...
