Similar to a full factorial experiment, a fractional factorial experiment investigates the effects of independent variables, known as factors, on a response variable.Each factor is investigated at different values, known as levels. The response variable is measured using a combination of factors at different levels, and each unique combination is known as a run.
Exploring the Benefits of Fractional Factorial DOE
Doing a fractional factorial or other screening design has a number of benefits but also disadvantages.. 1. Benefit: Lower costs. Having fewer runs will reduce the cost of your experiment. 2. Benefit: Speed. If you are using less runs then you will be able to complete your experiment in less time. 3. Disadvantage: You lose information.
Chapter 9 Fractional factorial designs
A fractional factorial design has resolution K if the grand mean is confounded with at least one factor of order K, and no factor of lower order. The order is typically given as a roman numeral. For example, a 23 − 1 design with generator ABC = 1 has order III, and we denote such a design as 23 − 1III.
Factorial and fractional factorial designs
Fractional factorial designs are a good choice when resources are limited or the number of factors in the design is large because they use fewer runs than the full factorial designs. A fractional factorial design uses a subset of a full factorial design, so some of the main effects and 2-way interactions are confounded and cannot be separated ...
The Open Educator
Fractional Factorial Design runs only a fraction of the full factorial design to screen the most important variables/factors that affect the response the most. For example, a 2 7 design of an experiment with seven variables of two levels for each factor will require 128 unique experiments to complete one full replication of the design.
Lesson 8: 2-level Fractional Factorial Designs
abc. A fractional factorial design is useful when we can't afford even one full replicate of the full factorial design. In a typical situation our total number of runs is \ (N = 2^ {k-p}\), which is a fraction of the total number of treatments. Using our example above, where \ (k = 3\), \ (p = 1\), therefore, \ (N = 2^2 = 4\) So, in this case ...
PDF Chapter 6: Fractional factorial designs
Theory for fractional designs. Formally define the multiplication AB of factors A and B by multiplying the signs at each experiment. The multiplication rule is associative (AB)C=A(BC) and commutative AB=BA. It has an identity I consisting of + for every experiment: for any A, AI=A. For any factor A, we have AA=I.
Chapter 9 Many Treatment Factors: Fractional Factorial Designs
Fractional factorial designs reduce the experiment size when using many treatment factors. In a \(2^k\)-factorial, all \(k\) treatment factors have two levels; a formal generator algebra can then be used to define fractional replicates and provides the alias sets of confounded parameters. The resolution measures the degree of confounding.

Let the A B component be defined as. L A B = X 1 + X 2 (m o d 3) and the A B 2 component will be defined as: L A B 2 = X 1 + 2 X 2 (m o d 3) Using these definitions we can ...

Fractional Factorial Design
2.2 Fractional Factorial Design. A Fractional Factorial Design involves using a subset selected from the experimental conditions of a Full Factorial Design; in other words, just some conditions of a Full Factorial Design will be employed [38]. This is more economical because it reduces the number of experiments.

The alias structure is a four letter word, therefore this is a Resolution IV design, A, B, C and D are each aliased with a 3-way interaction, (so we can't estimate them any longer), and the two way interactions are aliased with each other.

Fractional Factorial Design
The general procedure for the construction of two-level fractional factorial designs is the following. Assume that there are k variables to investigate. Find a full factorial design 2 q for which the number of runs, N > k.The model matrix of this design will contain (2 q − 1) orthogonal variables columns. Then, use interaction columns to define the variations of the extra variables.

Factorial experiment
Factorial experiment. In statistics, a full factorial experiment is an experiment whose design consists of two or more factors, each with discrete possible values or "levels", and whose experimental units take on all possible combinations of these levels across all such factors. A full factorial design may also be called a fully crossed design.
Lesson 5: Introduction to Factorial Designs
Introduction. Factorial designs are the basis for another important principle besides blocking - examining several factors simultaneously. We will start by looking at just two factors and then generalize to more than two factors. Investigating multiple factors in the same design automatically gives us replication for each of the factors.

A factorial experiment allows researchers to study the joint effect of two or more factors on a dependent variable. Factorial experiments come in two flavors: full factorials and fractional factorials. In this lesson, we will focus on the full factorial experiment, not the fractional factorial.
