Abstract

By studying treatment contrasts and ANOVA models, we propose a generalized minimum aberration criterion for comparing asymmetrical fractional factorial designs. The criterion is independent of the choice of treatment contrasts and thus model-free. It works for symmetrical and asymmetrical designs, regular and nonregular designs. In particular,it reduces to the minimum aberration criterion for regular designs and the minimum $G_2$-aberration criterion for two-level nonregular designs. In addition, by exploring the connection between factorial design theory and coding theory, we develop a complementary design theory for general symmetrical designs,which covers many existing results as special cases.
