Abstract
If we assume no higher order interactions for the 2n3m factorial series of designs, then relaxing the restrictions concerning equal frequency for the factors and complete orthogonality for each estimate permits considerable savings in the number of runs required to estimate all the main effects and two-factor interactions. Three construction techniques are discussed which yield designs providing orthogonal estimates of all the main effects and allowing estimation of all the two-factor interactions. These techniques are: (i) collapsing of factors in symmetrical fractionated 3m–p designs, (ii) conjoining fractionated designs, and (iii) combinations of (i) and (ii). Collapsing factors in a design either maintains or increases the resolution of the original design, but does not decrease it. Plans are presented for certain values of (n, m) as examples of the construction techniques. Systematic methods of analysis are also discussed.
