Construction d'orthogonaux dans les groupes abéliens finis et confusions d'effets dans les plans factoriels (Q1071453)

This paper deals with fractional designs generated by techniques as given by \textit{H. D. Patterson}, J. R. Stat. Soc., Ser. B 38, 175-179 (1976; Zbl 0328.62049). It is known that the identification of the confounded effects is possible by the construction of annihilators of given subgroups of the treatment group. In this paper the authors provide an algorithm for constructing such annihilators through the primary decomposition of finite Abelian groups.
