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

TLDR
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.

Selection of Non-Regular Fractional Factorial Designs When Some Two-Factor Interactions are Important

TL;DR: In this article, a new method is proposed for selecting the optimal non-regular fractional factorial designs in the situation when some two-factor interactions are potentially important, and search for the best designs according to this method is discussed and some results for the Plackett-Burman design of 12 runs are presented.

Constructing 2-level foldover designs with minimal aliasing

TL;DR: An algorithmic approach to constructing 2-level foldover designs using the minimum G2-aberration criterion (Tang & Deng, 1999), which can find designs without fully aliased 2-factor interactions (2FIs).

Invariance of generalized wordlength patterns

TL;DR: This article showed that the GWLP of a design is independent of this choice, but that the J-characteristics are not independent of the choice, and that the definitions carry over with appropriate changes if instead one uses an arbitrary abelian group.

A Basis for the Selection of a Response Surface Design

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.
