This study introduces new methods for designing experiments with mixed-level factors. These designs ensure orthogonality and optimize run order, minimizing experimental costs or enhancing robustness against time trends.
Area of Science:
- Statistics
- Experimental Design
Background:
- Orthogonality and run order optimality are key criteria in experimental design.
- Mixed-level designs are crucial for experiments with factors at unequal levels.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop construction methods for mixed-level designs balancing orthogonality and run order optimality.
- To propose methods for obtaining orthogonal main-effect plans with minimized or maximized level changes.
Main Methods:
- Construction of mixed-level designs incorporating orthogonality and level change considerations.
- Application of the collapsing factor method to derive orthogonal main-effect plans.
Main Results:
- Novel construction methods for mixed-level designs are presented.
- Orthogonal main-effect plans with controlled level changes are successfully obtained.
Conclusions:
- The developed designs ensure cost-effectiveness or robustness to time trends in practical experiments.
- These methods provide valuable tools for efficient and reliable experimental planning.
