Multi-type step-wise group screening designs with unequal a-priori probabilities
Abstract
In this paper, we discuss multi-type step-wise group
screening in which group-factors contain differing number of
factors. We describe a procedure for grouping the factors in the
absence of concrete prior information, so that the relative testing
cost is minimal. We shall derive an expression for the expected
number of runs in an Hype step-wise group screening design with
unequal group sizes and obtain values of the group sizes that
minimize the expected number of runs.
