fracfact

Fractional factorial design

Syntax

X = fracfact(gen)

[X,conf]

= fracfact(gen)

[X,conf]

= fracfact(gen,Name,Value)

Description

X = fracfact(gen) creates

the two-level fractional factorial design defined by the generator gen.

[X,conf]

= fracfact(gen) returns a cell array

of character vectors containing the confounding pattern for the design.

Name,Value pair arguments.

Input ArgumentsgenEither a string array or cell array of character vectors where each element contains one

“word,” or a character array or string scalar consisting of

“words” separated by spaces. “Words” consist of

case-sensitive letters or groups of letters, where 'a'

represents value 1, 'b' represents

value 2, ..., 'A' represents value

27, ..., 'Z' represents value

52.

Each word defines how the corresponding factor’s levels

are defined as products of generators from a 2^K full-factorial

design. K is the number of letters of the alphabet

in gen.

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional

comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is

the argument name and Value is the corresponding value.

Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value

pair arguments in any order as

Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.'FactorNames'String array or cell array specifying the name for each factor.

Default:{'X1','X2',...}

'MaxInt'Positive integer setting the maximum level of interaction to

include in the confounding output.

Default:2

Output ArgumentsXThe two-level fractional factorial design. X is

a matrix of size N-by-P, where

N = 2^K, where K is

the number of letters of the alphabet in gen.

P is the number of words in gen.

Because X is a two-level design, the components

of X are ±1. For the meaning

of X, see Fractional Factorial Designs.

confCell array of character vectors containing the confounding pattern

for the design.

Examples

Generate a fractional factorial design for four variables, where

the fourth variable is the product of the first three:

x = fracfact('a b c abc')

x =

-1 -1 -1 -1

-1 -1 1 1

-1 1 -1 1

-1 1 1 -1

1 -1 -1 1

1 -1 1 -1

1 1 -1 -1

1 1 1 1

Find generators for a six-factor design that uses four factors

and achieves resolution IV using fracfactgen.

Use the result to specify the design:

generators = fracfactgen('a b c d e f',4, ... % 4 factors

4) % resolution 4

generators =

'a'

'b'

'c'

'd'

'bcd'

'acd'

x = fracfact(generators)

x =

-1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1

-1 -1 -1 1 1 1

-1 -1 1 -1 1 1

-1 -1 1 1 -1 -1

-1 1 -1 -1 1 -1

-1 1 -1 1 -1 1

-1 1 1 -1 -1 1

-1 1 1 1 1 -1

1 -1 -1 -1 -1 1

1 -1 -1 1 1 -1

1 -1 1 -1 1 -1

1 -1 1 1 -1 1

1 1 -1 -1 1 1

1 1 -1 1 -1 -1

1 1 1 -1 -1 -1

1 1 1 1 1 1
