Abstract:
Taguchi's catalog of orthogonal arrays is based on the mathematical theory of factorial designs and difference sets developed by R. C. Bose and his associates. These arrays evolved as extensions of factorial designs and latin squares. This paper (1) describes the structure and constructions of Taguchi's orthogonal arrays, (2) illustrates their fractional factorial nature, and (3) points out that Taguchi's catalog can be expanded to include orthogonal arrays developed since 1960.

The two-way ANOVA analysis initially begins by stating the null hypothesis that there is an interaction effect between the two factors of a dataset. This effect can be visualized using line segments formed by joining the...
