The $q^k$ (full) factorial design with replication $\lambda$ is the multi-set consisting of $\lambda$ occurrences of each element of each $q$-ary vector of length $k$; we denote this by $\lambda\times [q]^k$. An $m\times n$ row-column…

Row-column factorial designs that provide unconfounded estimation of all main effects and the maximum number of two-factor interactions (2fi's) are called 2fi-optimal. This issue has been paid great attention recently for its wide…

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 screening experiments usually include factors with two levels only. Adding a few four-level factors allows for the inclusion of multi-level categorical factors or quantitative factors with possible quadratic or third-order…

Factorial designs with randomization restrictions are often used in industrial experiments when a complete randomization of trials is impractical. In the statistics literature, the analysis, construction and isomorphism of factorial designs…

Let the columns of a $p \times q$ matrix $M$ over any ring be partitioned into $n$ blocks, $M = [M_1, ..., M_n]$. If no $p \times p$ submatrix of $M$ with columns from distinct blocks $M_i$ is invertible, then there is an invertible $p…

Fractional factorial designs are widely used for designing screening experiments. Nonregular fractional factorial designs can have better properties than regular designs, but their construction is challenging. Current research on the…

Unreplicated two-level factorial designs are often used in screening experiments to determine which factors out of a large plausible set are active. A theorem regarding the generalized word count pattern is stated and proved for…

This paper is about the construction of augmented row-column designs for unreplicated trials. The method uses the representation of a $k \times t$ equireplicate incomplete-block design with $t$ treatments in $t$ blocks of size $k$, termed…

We computationally completely enumerate a number of types of row-column designs up to isotopism, including double, sesqui and triple arrays as known from the literature, and two newly introduced types that we call mono arrays and AO-arrays.…

A (q,k,t)-design matrix is an m x n matrix whose pattern of zeros/non-zeros satisfies the following design-like condition: each row has at most q non-zeros, each column has at least k non-zeros and the supports of every two columns…

In this paper we study the behavior of the fractions of a factorial design under permutations of the factor levels. We focus on the notion of regular fraction and we introduce methods to check whether a given symmetric orthogonal array can…

Let 1_k 0_l denote the (k+l)\times 1 column of k 1's above l 0's. Let q. (1_k 0_l) $ denote the (k+l)xq matrix with q copies of the column 1_k0_l. A 2-design S_{\lambda}(2,3,v) can be defined as a vx(\lambda/3)\binom{v}{2} (0,1)-matrix with…

In a general fractional factorial design, the $n$-levels of a factor are coded by the $n$-th roots of the unity. This device allows a full generalization to mixed-level designs of the theory of the polynomial indicator function which has…

For rings R with identity, we define a class of nonlinear higher order recurrences on unitary left R-modules that include linear recurrences as special cases. We obtain conditions under which a recurrence of order k+1 in this class is…

Factorial designs are widely used in agriculture, engineering, and the social sciences to study the causal effects of several factors simultaneously on a response. The objective of such a design is to estimate all factorial effects of…

The joint use of counting functions, Hilbert basis and Markov basis allows to define a procedure to generate all the fractions that satisfy a given set of constraints in terms of orthogonality. The general case of mixed level designs,…

Goldman, Joichi, and White proved a beautiful theorem showing that the falling factorial generating function for the rook numbers of a Ferrers board factors over the integers. Briggs and Remmel studied an analogue of rook placements where…

In finance, economics and many other fields, observations in a matrix form are often observed over time. For example, many economic indicators are obtained in different countries over time. Various financial characteristics of many…

A new class of two-level non-regular fractional factorial designs is defined. We call this class an {\it affinely full-dimensional factorial design}, meaning that design points in the design of this class are not contained in any affine…
