Factorial Design

Factorial Design - Factorial design are generally employed in engineering and manufacturing experiments. It is appropriate when several factors are to be investigated at two or more levels and interaction of factors may be important. Also see Design of Experiments (DoE).

Full Factorial Designs - study of two or more factors where all possible combinations of the levels of the factors are investigated. In brief, 2k Full Factorial involves: a) an experiment with k factors; b) each factor is studied at 2 levels (high-low); c) investigate all combination of factors and levels. Note: 3k full factorials studies k factors, each at 3 levels (high, medium, low).
