On the Construction of Asymmetric Orthogonal Arrays

چکیده
A general method for constructing asymmetric orthogonal arrays of arbitrary strength is proposed. Application of this method is made to obtain several new families of tight asymmetric orthogonal arrays of strength three. A procedure for replacing a column with 2 symbols in an orthogonal array of strength three by several 2-symbol columns, without disturbing the orthogonality of the array, leads to some new tight asymmetric orthogonal arrays of strength three. Some new families of asymmetric orthogonal arrays of strength four are also reported, and it is shown that these arrays accommodate the maximum number of columns for given values of other parameters of the array.

Construction of some families of nested orthogonal arrays
A (symmetric) nested orthogonal array is a symmetric orthogonal array OA(N, k, s, g) which contains an OA(M,k, r, g) as a subarray, where M < N and r < s. In this communication, some methods of construction of nested symmetric orthogonal arrays are given. Asymmetric nested orthogonal arrays are defined and a few methods of their construction are described.
متن کاملOn the construction of nested orthogonal arrays
Nested orthogonal arrays are useful in obtaining space-filling designs for an experimental set up consisting of two experiments, the expensive one of higher accuracy to be nested in a larger inexpensive one of lower accuracy. Systematic construction methods of some families of symmetric and asymmetric nested orthogonal arrays were provided recently by Dey [Discrete Math. 310 (2010), 2831–2834]....
متن کاملConstruction of asymmetric orthogonal arrays of strength three via a replacement method
A replacement procedure to construct orthogonal arrays of strength three was proposed by Suen, Das and Dey (2001). This method was later extended by Suen and Dey (2003). In this paper, we further explore the replacement procedure to obtain some new families of orthogonal arrays of strength three. MSC: 62K15

(say) is called symmetric, otherwise, the array is said to be asymmetric. Several methods of construction of symmetric as well as asymmetric OAs are available in the literature. Some important methods will be discussed here. One of the principal applications of the OAs is in the selection of level combinations for fractional factorial experiments. An OA of strength t is equivalent to an orthogo...
متن کاملβ-galactosidase Production by Aspergillus niger ATCC 9142 Using Inexpensive Substrates in Solid-State Fermentation: Optimization by Orthogonal Arrays Design
Background: Enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose is one of the most important biotechnological processes in the food industry, which is accomplished by enzyme β-galactosidase (β-gal, β-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.23), trivial called lactase. Orthogonal arrays design is an appropriate option for the optimization of biotechnological processes for the production of microbial...
