Abstract:

Robust parameter design (RPD) is an important issue in experimental designs. If all experimental runs cannot be performed under homogeneous conditions, blocking the units is effective. In this paper, we obtain the correspondence relation between fractional factorial RPDs and the blocking schemes for full factorial RPDs. In addition, we provide a
construction of optimal blocking schemes that make all main effects and control-by-noise two-factor interactions estimable.
