Introduction • Sometimes it is impossible to perform all of runs in one batch of material • Or to ensure the robustness, one might deliberately vary the experimental conditions to ensure the treatment are equally effective. • Blocking is a technique for dealing with controllable nuisance variables
Introduction • Two cases are considered • Replicated designs • Unreplicated designs
Blocking a Replicated 2k Factorial Design • A 2k design has been replicated n times. • Each set of nonhomogeneous conditions defines a block • Each replicate is run in one of the block • The runs in each block would be made in random order.
Blocking a Replicated 2k Factorial Design -- example • Only four experiment trials can be made from a single batch. Three batch of raw material are required.
Blocking a Replicated 2k Factorial Design -- example • Sum ofSquares in Block • ANOVA
Confounding in The 2k Factorial Design • Problem: Impossible to perform a complete replicate of a factorial design in one block • Confounding is a design technique for arranging a complete factorial design in blocks, where block size is smaller than the number of treatment combinations in one replicate.
Confounding in The 2k Factorial Design • Short comings: Cause information about certain treatment effects (usually high order interactions ) to be indistinguishable from, or confounded with, blocks. • If the case is to analyze a 2k factorial design in 2p incomplete blocks, where p<k, one can use runs in two blocks (p=1), four blocks (p=2), and so on.
Confounding the 2k Factorial Design in Two Blocks • Suppose we want to run a single replicate of the 22 design. Each of the 22=4 treatment combinations requires a quantity of raw material, for example, and each batch of raw material is only large enough for two treatment combinations to be tested. • Two batches are required.
Confounding the 2k Factorial Design in Two Blocks • One can treat batches as blocks • One needs assign two of the four treatment combinations to each blocks
Confounding the 2k Factorial Design in Two Blocks • The order of the treatment combinations are run within one block is randomly selected. • For the effects, A and B: A=1/2[ab+a-b-(1)] B=1/2[ab-a+b-(1)] Are unaffected
Confounding the 2k Factorial Design in Two Blocks • For the effects, AB: AB=1/2[ab-a-b+(1)] is identical to block effect AB is confounded with blocks
Confounding the 2k Factorial Design in Two Blocks • We could assign the block effects to confounded with A or B. • However we usually want to confound with higher order interaction effects.
Confounding the 2k Factorial Design in Two Blocks • We could confound any 2k design in two blocks. • Three factors example
Confounding the 2k Factorial Design in Two Blocks • ABC is confounded with blocks • It is a random order within one block.
Confounding the 2k Factorial Design in Two Blocks • Multiple replicates are required to obtain the estimate error when k is small. • For example, 23 design with four replicate in two blocks
Confounding the 2k Factorial Design in Two Blocks • ANOVA • 32 observations
Confounding the 2k Factorial Design in Two Blocks --example • Same as example 6.2 • Four factors: Temperature, pressure, concentration, and stirring rate. • Response variable: filtration rate. • Each batch of material is nough for 8 treatment combinations only. • This is a 24 design n two blocks.

Another Illustration • Assuming we don’t have blocking in previous example, we will not be able to notice the effect AD. Now the first eight runs (in run order) have filtration rate reduced by 20 units
Confounding the 2k design in four blocks • 2k factorial design confounded in four blocks of 2k-2 observations. • Useful if k ≧ 4 and block sizes are relatively small. • Example 25 design in four blocks, each block with eight runs. • Select two factors to be confound with, say ADE and BCE.
Confounding the 2k design in four blocks • L1=x1+x4+x5 • L2=x2+x3+x5 • Pairs of L1 and L2 group into four blocks
Confounding the 2k design in four blocks • Example: L1=1, L2=1 block 4 • abcde: L1=x1+x4+x5=1+1+1=3(mod 2)=1 L2=x2+x3+x5=1+1+1=3(mod 2)=1
Confounding the 2k design in 2pblocks • 2k factorial design confounded in 2p blocks of 2k-p observations.
Partial Confounding • In Figure 7.3, it is a completely confounded case • ABC s confounded with blocks in each replicate.
Partial Confounding • Consider the case below, it is partial confounding. • ABC is confounded in replicate I and so on.
Partial Confounding • As a result, information on ABC can be obtained from data in replicate II, II, IV, and so on. • We say ¾ of information can be obtained on the interactions because they are unconfounded in only three replicates. • ¾ is the relative information for the confounded effects
Partial Confounding • ANOVA
Partial Confounding-- example • From Example 6.1 • Response variable: etch rate • Factors: A=gap, B=gas flow, C=RF power. • Only four treatment combinations can be tested during a shift. • There is shift-to-shift difference in etch performance. The experimenter decide to use shift as a blocking factor.
Partial Confounding-- example • Each replicate of the 23 design must be run in two blocks. Two replicates are run. • ABC is confounded in replicate I and AB is confounded in replicate II.
