Fractional Factorial Designs with SigmaXL

What Are Fractional Factorial Designs with SigmaXL? In simple terms, a fractional factorial design with SigmaXL is a subset of a full factorial experiment. Fractional factorials use fewer treatment combinations and runs. Fractional factorials are less able to determine effects because of fewer degrees of freedom available to evaluate higher order interactions. Fractional factorials can…

Full Factorial DOE with SigmaXL

What is a Full Factorial DOE with SigmaXL? In a Full Factorial DOE with SigmaXL, all of the possible combinations of factors and levels are created and tested. For example, for two-level design (i.e.each factor has two levels) with k factors, there are 2k possible scenarios or treatments. Two factors, each with two levels, we…
