Abstract

Purpose: It is critical to design a set of experiments in Test and Evaluation Process for a weapon system. Because there is no sufficient resources in real-world, one must choose a subset of experiments which is considered to be more important. Methods: We introduce an optimization model for choosing the subset of experiments by considering a priority of experimental variable and level and restrictions of resources. We describe in detail how we construct objective function and constraints which must be a right realization of our logic and assumption. Conclusion: Since our optimization model turns out to be computationally difficult to solve, we introduce an algorithm for reducing the size of problem. Various computational results follows.
