Abstract:

This paper introduces a new criterion, the Maxest criterion, to address the problem of optimal factor assignment for any fractional factorial designs. It is an extension of the minimum aberration and the MaxC2 rule for regular designs. It refines Webb's concept of resolution for nonorthogonal designs. The Maxest criterion is used to study the projective properties of some nonregular designs. Comparisons with other projective properties are also given. The new classification is simpler and more useful in statistical modeling.
