Generators for Nonregular 2^(k-p)  Designs
Robert W. Mee

Abstract:

This talk will describe three types of nonregular 2^(k-p) designs​​.  The first type has generators and a defining relation, quite similar to regular fractional factorial designs.  The second type has partial replication, with increases the generalized word length pattern. To construct the design's indicator function, we obtain generators by augmenting the design with a dummy factor.  The third type of design has no partial replication but also requires augmentation with a dummy factor to produce the design and its indicator function.  Numerous examples are given.
