Multi-Factored Experiments
Consider
(4A + 4BC)= 2(a - b - c + abc)
or
2(A + BC)= a - b - c + abc
Overall:
2(A + BC)= a - b - c + abc
2(B + AC)= -a + b - c + abc
2(C + AB)= -a - b + c + abc
In each case, the 4 t.c.s NOT run cancel out.

NOTE: If you know (i.e., are

interactions = 0, then you can say
either (1) you get 3 factors for the price of 2.
(2) you get 3 factors at 1/2 price.

Suppose we run those 4:
1, ab, c, abc;
We would then estimate
A+B two main effects
C + ABC together usually
AC + BC less desirable
- 8 t.c.s
Note: -Lose 1 effect
-Estimate other 14 in 7 alias pairs of 2
L. M. Lye DOE Course 13
Clean estimates of the remaining member of the pair can
then be made.
I = ABCDE
A=4 AB=3
B=4 AC=3
C=4 AD=3
D=4 AE=3
E=4 BC=3
BD=3
BE=3

Next step: Find the 2 blocks (only one of which will be run)
Assume we choose I=ABDE

In a 25 , there
25-2 A, B, C, D, E
are 31 effects;
Must lose 3; other 28
with 8 t.c.,
in 7 alias groups of 4
there are 7 df &
7 estimates
available
Every fractional
factorial contains
full factorials in
fewer factors
The flashlight
analogy
A one-half fraction
will project into a
full factorial in any
k 1 of the original
factors
