Abstract
As the number of factors in a 2k factorial design increases, the number of experiments required to get a full replication soon exceeds the resources of most experimenters. For example, a full replication of a 26 design calls for 64 experiments. Only 6 of 63 degrees of freedom correspond to principal effects in this design and only 15 to two-factor interactions; the other 42 correspond to interactions of three or more factors.
