Abstract
Abstract Alternative design and analysis methods for screening experiments based on locating arrays are presented. The number of runs in a locating array grows logarithmically based on the number of factors, providing efficient methods for screening complex engineered systems, especially those with large numbers of categorical factors having different numbers of levels. Our analysis method focuses on levels of factors in the identification of important main effects and two-way interactions. We demonstrate the validity of our design and analysis methods on both well-studied and synthetic data sets and investigate both statistical and combinatorial properties of locating arrays that appear to be related to their screening capability.
期刊介绍:
The objective of Journal of Quality Technology is to contribute to the technical advancement of the field of quality technology by publishing papers that emphasize the practical applicability of new techniques, instructive examples of the operation of existing techniques and results of historical researches. Expository, review, and tutorial papers are also acceptable if they are written in a style suitable for practicing engineers.
