In Bagchi (2010) main effect plans "orthogonal through the block factor" (POTB) have been constructed. The main advantages of a POTB are that (a) it may exist in a set up where an "usual" orthogonal main effect plan (OMEP) cannot exist and…
In the present paper we construct plans orthogonal through the block factor (POTBs). We describe procedures for adding blocks as well as factors to an initial plan and thus generate a bigger plan. Using these procedures we construct POTBs…
In this paper we study optimality aspects of a certain type of designs in a multi-way heterogeneity setting. These are ``duals" of plans orthogonal through the block factor (POTB). Here by the dual of a main effect plan (say $\rho$) we mean…
In this paper we define the concept of orthogonality between two factors "through another factor". Exploiting this property we have been able to obtain orthogonal main effect plans (OMEP) on non-orthogonal blocks requiring considerably…
Main effect plans orthogonal through the block factor (POTB) have been defined and a few series of them have been constructed in Bagchi (2010). These plans are very closely related to the `mutually orthogonal balanced nested row-column…
Two-level designs are widely used for screening experiments where the goal is to identify a few active factors which have major effects. Orthogonal two-level designs in which all factors are level-balance and each of the four level…
In this paper we construct `inter-class orthogonal' main effect plans (MEP) for asymmetrical experiments. In such a plan, a factor is orthogonal to all others except possibly the ones in its own class. We have also defined the concept of…

Mixture experiments often involve process variables, such as different chemical reactors in a laboratory or varying mixing speeds in a production line. Organizing the runs in orthogonal blocks allows the mixture model to be fitted…

We develop $D$-optimal designs for linear models with first-order interactions on a subset of the $2^K$ full factorial design region, when both the number of factors set to the higher level and the number of factors set to the lower level…
Constrained orthogonal polynomials have been recently introduced in the study of the Hohenberg-Kohn functional to provide basis functions satisfying particle number conservation for an expansion of the particle density. More generally, we…

Two-level factorial designs are widely used in industrial experiments. For processes involving \(n\) factors, the construction of designs comprising \(2^n\) and \(2^{n-p}\) factorials, arranged in blocks of size \(2^q\) is investigated. The…
Designs for Order-of-Addition (OofA) experiments have received growing attention due to their impact on responses based on the sequence of component addition. In certain cases, these experiments involve heterogeneous groups of units, which…
