Space Filling Split Plot Design using Fast Flexible Filling
share
In this article, an adaption of an algorithm for the creation of experimental designs by Lekivetz and Jones (2015) is suggested, dealing with constraints around randomization. Split-plot design of experiments is used, when the levels of some factors cannot be modified as easily as others. While most split-plot designs deal in the context of I-optimal or D-optimal designs for continuous response outputs, a space filling design strategy is suggested in here. The proposed designs are evaluated based on different design criteria, as well as an analytical example.
