Minimum Aberration $3^{n-k}$ Designs

  • Published : 1996.06.01

Abstract

The minimum aberration criterion is commonly used for selecting good fractional factorial designs. In this paper we give same necessary conditions for $3^{n-k}$ fractional factorial designs. We obtain minimum aberration $3^{n-k}$ designs for k = 2 and any n. For k > 2, minimum aberration designs have not found yet. As an alternative, we select a design with minimum aberration among minimum-variance designs.
