چکیده

— There is not a method for analysing unreplicated factorial designs that performs well for various configurations of number and size of active effects. Moreover, the most popular tool that has been applied is informal and subjective. To overcome these drawbacks, this paper suggests a multiple testing to help practitioners making objective decisions and identifying active effects with a minimum number of additional runs for a wide range of active effects configurations. The selected methods are efficient and easy to implement by practitioners, including those who do not have a profound knowledge of statistics. Two examples from the literature exemplify and justify the proposed approach.

Testing Multiple Dispersion Effects in Unreplicated Fractional Factorial Designs

In unreplicated 2kp designs, the assumption of constant variance is commonly made. When the variance of the response differs between the two levels of a column in the effect matrix, that column produces a dispersion effect. In this article we show that two active dispersion effects may create a spurious dispersion effect in their interaction column. Most existing methods for dispersion-effect t...

Design and Analysis Approach for Factorials with Observable Noise Factors in Robust Design

Recent literature has proposed integrating observed noise variables into a factorial design structure as an alternative robust design strategy. Because noise factors are often difficult to control or randomize, observing their values may be useful. This research compares existing alternatives involving unreplicated fractional factorial designs and observable noise factors.

A Distribution-Free Multi-Factorial Profiler for Harvesting Information from High-Density Screenings

Data screening is an indispensable phase in initiating the scientific discovery process. Fractional factorial designs offer quick and economical options for engineering highly-dense structured datasets. Maximum information content is harvested when a selected fractional factorial scheme is driven to saturation while data gathering is suppressed to no replication. A novel multi-factorial profile...

Designing 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 ...

Analyzing Unreplicated Factorial Experiments: a Review with Some New Proposals

Recently, there have been many proposals for objectively analyzing unreplicated factorial experiments. We review these methods along with some earlier and perhaps lesser known ones. New methods are also proposed. The primary aim of this paper is to compare these methods and their variants via an extensive simulation study. Robustness of the various methods to non-normality is also considered. M...
