Resolution III design

It is clear that if the first-order model (equation (5)) is assumed to be valid, then a resolution III design or a Plackett-Burman design can be used since this design will estimate all of the yff without bias. 

A resolution III design has at least some main effects aliased with two-factor interactions so the27-3 design in Table 2 is a resolution III design (often denoted... 

The design is a Resolution III design and main effects are confounded with two-variable interaction effects. The design is one quarter of a full, 2 , factorial design. 

These designs will be Resolution III designs, and the estimated main effects will be confounded with two-variable interactions. However, the confounding patterns are not easy to elucidate directly from the design matrices. We do not have the... 

Resolution III designs can be constructed to accomodate three variables in four runs, up to seven variables in eight runs etc. Such designs can be augmented to Resolution IV designs by fold-over. Resolution IV designs are useful, since they make it possible to detect presence of strong interaction effects. 

With more than eight variables it is probably more practical to use a Resolution III design first, and run a complementary fraction by fold-over. 

Plackett-Burman designs Do not consider a Plackett-Burman design as a first choice. These designs are Resolution III designs, but the confounding pattern in such designs is more difficult to analyze than that of fractional factorial designs. 

The resolution of a design is a categorization of the aliasing in the design. For resolution III design, main effects are not aliased with each other but each main effect is aliased... 

The full factorial design may not be practical. Perhaps it is not possible for one operator to run two assays on one day. Then a fractional factorial design can be used. The design shown in Table 5 is resolution III design with four experimental trials. As machine is aliased with the interaction between operator and day, the main effect due to machine can be estimated only if we assume there is negligible interaction between operator and day. Often, interactions can be assumed to be negligible based on prior knowledge or the science that is known about the situation. 

To build a resolution III design, first write out the effect matrix associated with the full factorial design whose size (i.e., number of runs) is just greater than the number of factors to be screened. Then assign each screening factor to a... 

The number of runs (n.) associated with resolution III designs come in 2 increments (4, 8, 16, and so on). Each can... 

An eight run, resolution III design, was developed for the whole plot factors using the approach described earlier (Table 4). Sampling times were then brainstormed. For this first formal experiment, there was not a lot of information on...

Kukovecz et al. (2005) [32] reported the use of a 2 [7—4] design to study the effect of seven factors on the carbon percentage and the quality descriptor number (QDN). The factors are reaction temperature, reaction time, preheating time, catalyst mass, C2H2 volumetric flow rate, Ar volumetric flow rate and Fe MgO molar ratio. The design is a resolution III design, which means the main effects are confounded with the second-order effects. They present their results in graphs that are difficult to interpret for the main effect and interaction effect.
