An Algorithmic Approach to Constructing Supersaturated Designs

Abstract

Supersaturated designs are very cost-effective to scientists and engineers at the primary stage of scientific investigation. This article describes a method of constructing supersaturated designs from balanced incomplete block designs that is a generalization of the method of Lin for constructing these designs and a more general approach to constructing these designs.
