2 Outline Aim of the work Full factorial design, fractions and counting functions Strata Generation of fractions Concluding remarks

3 Aim of the work To find a general method for fractional factorial design generation, where general means without any restriction for the number of factors/level

4 Full factorial design - complex coding of levels We refer to [Pistone and Rogantin(2008)] m factors, D 1,..., D m D j has n j levels coded with the n j -th roots of the unity: D j = {ω 0,..., ω nj 1} ( 1 2π ω k = exp n j D is the full factorial design with complex coding D = D 1 D j D m. ζ = (ζ 1,..., ζ m ) is a point of D #D is the cardinality of D, #D = m i=1 n j ) ( k exp i 2π n j ) k ;

5 Fractions and Counting functions A fraction F of D is a multiset (F, f ) whose underlying set of elements F is contained in D and f is the multiplicity function f : F N that for each element in F gives the number of times it belongs to the multiset F. Definition The counting function R of a fraction F is a response defined on D so that for each ζ D, R(ζ) equals the number of appearances of ζ in the fraction. We denote by c α the coefficients of the representation of R on D using the monomial basis {X α, α L = Z n1 Z nj Z nm }: R(ζ) = α L c α X α (ζ) ζ D c α C.

6 Full factorial design - complex coding of levels L is the full factorial design with integer coding α = (α 1,..., α m ) L = Z n1 Z nj Z nm, α j = 0,..., n j 1, j = 1,..., m is an element of L X j is the j-th component function, which maps a point to its i-th component: X j : D (ζ 1,..., ζ m ) ζ j D j ; the function X j is called simple term or, by abuse of terminology, factor. X α is the interaction term X α 1 1 Xm αm, i.e. the function X α : D (ζ 1,..., ζ m ) ζ α 1 1 ζαm m ;

7 Counting functions Proposition Let F be a fraction of a full factorial design D and R = α L c αx α be its counting function. 1 The coefficients c α are equal to 1 #D X α (ζ) ; ζ F 2 The term X α is centered on F, i.e. E F (X α ) = 1 if, and only if, c α = c [ α] = 0. #F ζ F X α (ζ) = 0, 3 The terms X α and X β are orthogonal on F, i.e. E F (X α X β ) = 0, if, and only if, c [α β] = 0.

8 Projectivity and Orthogonal Arrays Definition A fraction F factorially projects onto the I -factors, I {1,..., m}, if the projection is a multiple full factorial design, i.e. a full factorial design where each point appears equally often.

9 Projectivity and Orthogonal Arrays Definition A fraction F factorially projects onto the I -factors, I {1,..., m}, if the projection is a multiple full factorial design, i.e. a full factorial design where each point appears equally often. Definition A fraction F is a mixed orthogonal array of strength t if it factorially projects onto any I -factors with #I = t.

10 Projectivity and Orthogonal Arrays Definition A fraction F factorially projects onto the I -factors, I {1,..., m}, if the projection is a multiple full factorial design, i.e. a full factorial design where each point appears equally often. Definition A fraction F is a mixed orthogonal array of strength t if it factorially projects onto any I -factors with #I = t. Proposition (Projectivity)

Definition A fraction F is a mixed orthogonal array of strength t if it factorially projects onto any I -factors with #I = t. Proposition (Projectivity) 1 A fraction factorially projects onto the I -factors if, and only if, all the coefficients of the counting function involving only the I -factors are 0.

12 Projectivity and Orthogonal Arrays Definition A fraction F factorially projects onto the I -factors, I {1,..., m}, if the projection is a multiple full factorial design, i.e. a full factorial design where each point appears equally often. Definition A fraction F is a mixed orthogonal array of strength t if it factorially projects onto any I -factors with #I = t. Proposition (Projectivity) 1 A fraction factorially projects onto the I -factors if, and only if, all the coefficients of the counting function involving only the I -factors are 0. 2 A fraction is an orthogonal array of strength t if, and only if, all the coefficients of the counting function up to the order t are zero: c α = 0 for all α of order up to t, α (0, 0,..., 0).

13 Orthogonal array of strength t and indicator functions Let F = α L b αx α an indicator function of a fraction F of D Let C = {α L : 0 < α t}; F is an indicator function of an Orthogonal Array of strengt t if it is a solution of the following system { b α = β L b βb [α β] b α = 0, α C Remark F is an indicator function F (F 1) = 0 b α = β L b βb [α β]

14 Level set of X α Proposition (level set 1) Let X j the simple term with level set Ω nj = {ω 0,..., ω nj 1}. Let s consider the term Xj r and let s define { 1 r = 0 s j,r = n j / gcd(r, n j ) r > 0 Over D, the term X r j takes all the values of Ω sj,r equally often. Example n j = 4, D j = {ω 0, ω 1, ω 2, ω 3 } {1, i, 1, i} ζ j Xj 0 Xj 1 Xj 2 Xj ω 1 1 ω 1 ω 2 ω 3 ω 2 1 ω 2 1 ω 2 ω 3 1 ω 3 ω 2 ω 1

15 Level set of X α Proposition (level set 2) Let X α = X α 1 1 Xm αm an interaction. X α i i takes values in Ω si,αi where s i,αi is determined according to the previous Proposition level set 1. Let s define s α = lcm(s 1,α1,..., s m,αm ). Over D, the term X α takes all the values of Ω sα equally often. Example n j = n k = 4, X 2 j X 2 k. From Proposition level set 1 we have s j = s k = 2. We obtain s = 2. Indeed X 2 j (ζ j) {1, 1}, X 2 k (ζ k) {1, 1} X 2 j X 2 k (ζ j, ζ k ) {1, 1}

16 Strata Definition Given a term X α, α L = Z n1... Z nm the full design D is partitioned into the the following strata { } Dh α = ζ D : X α (ζ) = ω h where ω h Ω sα and s α is determined according to the previous Propositions level set 1 and level set 2. We use n α,h to denote the number of points of the fraction F that are in the stratum D α h, with h = 0,..., s α 1, n α,h = ζ D α h y ζ

17 Counting function as linear combination of indicator functions Let s consider the indicator functions 1 ζ of all the single points of D { 1 ζ = (ζ 1,..., ζ m ) 1 ζ : D (ζ 1,..., ζ m ) 0 ζ (ζ 1,..., ζ m ) The counting function R of a fraction F can be written as ζ D y ζ1 ζ with y ζ R(ζ) {0, 1,..., n,...}. The particular case in which R is an indicator function corresponds to y ζ {0, 1}. Proposition Let F be a fraction of D. Its counting fraction R can be expressed both as R = α c αx α and R = ζ D y ζ1 ζ. The relation between the coefficients c α and y ζ is c α = 1 y ζ X #D α (ζ) ζ D

18 c α and n α,h Proposition Let F be a fraction of D with counting fraction R = α L c αx α. Each c α, α L, depends on n α,h, h = 0,..., s α 1, as c α = 1 s α 1 n α,h ω h #D h=0 where s α is determined by X α (see Proposition level set 1 and Proposition level set 2 ). Viceversa, each n α,h, h = 0,..., s α 1, depends on c [ kα], k = 0,..., s 1 as n α,h = #D s α s α 1 k=0 c [ kα] ω [hk]

19 Conditions on n α,h to have X α centered Let F be a fraction of D with counting fraction R = 1 sα 1 #D α L h=0 n α,hω h X α. Proposition (*) Let X α be a term with level set Ω sα on full design D. s α is prime The term X α is centered on the fraction F if, and only if, its s α levels appear equally often: n α,0 = n α,1 =... = n α,s 1 = λ α s α is not prime Let P α (ζ) = s α 1 h=0 n α,hζ h and let s denote by Φ sα the cyclotomic polynomial of the s α -roots of the unity. The term X α is centered on the fraction F if, and only if, the remainder H α (ζ) = P α (ζ)modφ sα (ζ) whose coefficients are integer linear combinations of n α,h, h = 0,..., s α 1, is identically zero.

20 Conditions on R(ζ) to have X α centered n α,h are related to the values of the counting function R of a fraction F by the following relation n α,h = y ζ, ζ D α h Proposition * allows to express the condition X α is centered on F ( c α = 0) as integer linear combinations of the values y ζ of the counting function over the full design D.

21 Orthogonal Arrays For Orthogonal Arrays, using Proposition projectivity we have c α = 0 α C where C = {α L : 0 < α t} and α is the number of non null elements of α.

22 OA(n, s m, t), s prime, as a system of linear equations Let s consider OA(n, s m, t), s prime. We consider α C and, using Proposition *, we write the condition c α = 0 using strata as ζ D0 α y ζ = λ y ζ = λ Varying α C we get Considering λ as a variable, ζ D α 1... ζ Ds 1 α y ζ = λ where à = [A, 1] and Ỹ = (Y, λ). AY = λ1 ÃỸ = 0

23 Computation of generators for OA(n, s m, t), s prime The sum of two Orthogonal Arrays, Y 1 OA(n 1, s m, t) and Y 2 OA(n 2, s m, t), is an Orthogonal Array Y 1 + Y 2 OA(n 1 + n 2, s m, t). The Hilbert Basis [Schrijver(1986)] is a minimal set of generators such that any OA(n, s m, t) becomes a linear combination of the generators with positive or null integer coefficients. This approach extends that of [Carlini and Pistone(2007)] where homogeneous 2-level fractions were considered and the conditions ζ F X α (ζ) = 0 were used. c α = 1 #D The advantage of using strata is that we avoid computations with complex numbers (X α (ζ)). We give some examples. For the computation we use 4ti2 [4ti2 team(2008)].

24 Some examples of OA(n, s m, t), s prime Some classes of OA s: A(n, 2 5, 2) The matrix à has 30 rows and 33 columns. We find 26, 142 solutions A(n, 3 3, 2) The matrix à has has 54 rows and 28 columns. We find 66 solutions: 12 have 9 points, all different 54 have 18 points, 17 different. A(n, 3 4, 3) The matrix à has has 192 rows and 82 columns. We find 131, 892 solutions

26 OA(n, s n sn k, t) as a system of linear equations k Let s consider mixed level orthogonal arrays. OA(n, s m, t), without the condition s prime, become a particular case. Using Proposition *, we express the condition c α = 0, α C using strata. Let s consider, as an example, OA(n, 2 3 3, 3). Let s take α (1, 1, 0, 0) C = {α Z 2 Z 3 Z 3 Z 3 : 1 α 3}. We get s α = 6. The condition c 1,1,0,0 = 0 is equivalent to X 1,1,0,0 is centered that is equivalent to H α (ζ) P α (ζ)modφ 6 (ζ) is identically zero. We have and therefore P α (ζ) = n (1,1,0,0),0 + n (1,1,0,0),1 ζ n (1,1,0,0),5 ζ 5 Φ 6 (ζ) = 1 ζ + ζ 2 H α (ζ) P α (ζ)modφ 6 (ζ) = n (1,1,0,0),0 n (1,1,0,0),2 n (1,1,0,0),3 + n (1,1,0,0),6 + (n (1,1,0,0),1 + n (1,1,0,0),2 n (1,1,0,0),5 n (1,1,0,0),6 )ζ

27 OA(n, s n sn k, t) as a system of linear equations k Varying α C and reminding that n α,h = ζ Dh α y ζ we get ÃỸ = 0. Some classes of OA s: The matrix à has 89 rows and 54 columns. We find 403 solutions OA(n, 2 3 3, 3) OA(n, 4 2, 2) OA(n, 6 2, 2) The matrix à has 10 rows and 16 columns. We find 24 solutions corresponding to all the LHD. The matrix à has 18 rows and 36 columns. We find 620 solutions corresponding to all the LHD. Classification of OA(n, 2 3 3, 3) # support # of points max rep N Total 403
