Johns 3/4 Designs

The following is an excerpt on DOE designed experiment techniques from Six Sigma Demystified (2011, McGraw-Hill) by Paul Keller.

Johns 3/4 Designs - Johns 3/4 designs are 3/4 fractions of the regular Fractional Factorials For example, designs can be constructed of 12 runs (3/4 of 16 run) and 24 runs (3/4 of 32 runs). Conditions are chosen to maximize the number of interactions independently estimated. In this way, the designs are constrained by the interactions.

Usually, for the same number of runs, the Johns 3/4 designs can accommodate more interactions than a Placket-Burman or fractional factorial design.
