Abstract:

We suggest a new optimal design criterion for robust parameter design experiment. This criterion is built on a Bayesian framework which has incorporated the hierarchical ordering principle. Compared with some existing design criteria, this criterion still follows the hierarchical ordering principle and fully focuses on variation reduction. We also develop a greedy-exchange algorithm to search for the optimal design. Our proposed method is very general and not restricted to a specific kind of designs such as orthogonal arrays. It can be extended to more complicated situations when there are mixed-level qualitative and quantitative factors, or even internal noise factors.
