A comparison of classes of single replicate factorial designs (Q1090039): Difference between revisions

The problem of confounding in factorial designs is well known. A variety of methods exists in the literature for the construction of single replicate designs for factorial experiments. In this paper, the classes of designs produced by well-known confounding methods are compared for single replicate factorial experiments involving a single blocking factor. It is also shown that several of these methods produce equivalent classes of designs, while others produce a subset of this common class. Furthermore, it has been shown that in certain experimental settings the use of pseudofactors does not enlarge the size of the common class of designs.
