Create Factorial Design

Two-Level Fractional Factorial Designs - Design Generators

  

The design generators determine how the fraction or subset of runs are selected from the full set of runs.

Example Output

Design Generators:  D = ABC  

 

Alias Structure

 

I + ABCD

 

A + BCD

B + ACD

C + ABD

D + ABC

AB + CD

AC + BD

AD + BC

Interpretation

For the insulation experiment, the (2**4-1) design was constructed using the generator D = ABC is shown below.

The - and + signs in the table represent the low and high factor settings, respectively. To determine the settings for Factor D, you simply multiply the signs for Factors A, B, and C. For example, in the first run of the design, A x B x C = (-)(-)(-) = -. Therefore, for the first run of your experiment you would set Factor D at its low setting.
