Model-Robust Optimal Designs: A Genetic Algorithm Approach

, , &
Pages 263-279 | Published online: 16 Feb 2018
 

Abstract

A model-robust design is an experimental array that has high efficiency with respect to a particular optimization criterion for every member of a set of candidate models that are of interest to the experimenter. We present a technique to construct model-robust alphabetically-optimal designs using genetic algorithms. The technique is useful in situations where computer-generated designs are most likely to be employed, particularly experiments with mixtures and response surface experiments in constrained regions. Examples illustrating the procedure are provided.
