Abstract

Two-level screening designs are appropriate for situations where a large number of factors (q) is examined but relatively few (k) of these are expected to be important. It is not knownwhich of theq factors will be the important ones, that is, it is not known whichk dimensions of the experimental space will be of further interest. After the results of the design have received a first analysis, the design will be projected into thek dimensions of interest. These projections are investigated for Plackett and Burman type-screening designs withq≤23 factors, andk=3, 4, and 5.
