Second-order extensions to nearly orthogonal-and-balanced (NOAB) mixed-factor experimental designs
JOURNAL OF SIMULATION(2019)
摘要
When simulation studies involve many quantitative (i.e., discrete and continuous) and qualitative (i.e., categorical) input factors with different numbers of levels for each, meta-models of simulation responses can benefit from the use of mixed-factor space-filling designs. The first-order nearly orthogonal-and-balanced (NOAB) design is a popular approach in these situations. This research develops second-order extensions for an existing construction method of NOAB designs, estimating the pairwise correlations between possible first-order and second-order terms. These extensions permit additional linear constraints in the mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulations previously developed for first-order NOAB designs. A case study is presented for NOAB designs of different sizes and construction approaches. The second-order MILP extensions show improvements in design performance measures for parameter estimation and prediction variance for an assumed second-order model as well as for model misspecification with respect to second-order terms for an assumed first-order model.
