Title: Optimal Design for Multilevel Experiments
Author(s): Christopher I. Vahl*+ and George A. Milliken

Keywords: split-split-plot ; optimal design ; multilevel design ; exchange algorithms ; split-plot
Abstract:

A multilevel experiment contains different sizes of experimental units. Examples include split-plot and strip-plot experiments, which are commonly used in the agricultural and engineering sciences. Optimal designs for experiments with independent errors can be constructed using exchange algorithms. A modification of these algorithms is used to account for the covariance matrix in split-plot and split-split-plot experiments and some results are discussed.
