Summary
The behavior of many real-world systems depends on two or more factors which can be set at various levels. In such systems factorial experiments are usually conducted so that one can select or rank factor-level combinations, and study the performance of the system at those selected factor-level combinations. For the goal of selecting the best factor-level combination, all the existing theory in ranking and selection assumes normality of the observations. In this paper, we consider selection procedures for the above goal, in two-factor factorial experiments without relying on the assumption of normality. These procedures are then campared under no-interaction and interaction cases, and adaptive procedures are formulated.
