A new algorithm for two-level RFFD generation

Abstract

The authors have developed and analyzed a novel algorithm for generation of all two-level RFFDs (regular fractional factoral designs) which met a user-specified requirement set. Although Franklin's algorithm could have been applied many times to obtain the same designs, the proposed algorithm directly, and relatively quickly, produces all such RFFDs (without repeats). This allows the user to make intelligent choices between alternative RFFDs. The FFDs are optimized to provide specific information using the fewest tests.<>
