Title: Experiment planning for an x-ray material study

Abstract

An experiment is planned in which up to 3 materials will be subjected to conditions determined by 3 factors: dose, dose rate, and x-ray energy. The 3 materials, new compact material, powdered material, and aged compact material, are referred to simply as 'compact', 'powder' , and 'aged' respectively. Initial consideration of experimental settings for this experiment proposed up to 7 levels of dose, 3 levels of dose rate, and 4 levels of x-ray energy. All combinations of these materials and conditions would yield 3 x 7 x 3 x 4 = 252 possible experiments in the proposed study. However, it is expected that at most 23 experiments can realistically be set-up and monitored. This document describes statistical experiment design methods for obtaining a subset of combinations that efficiently provide the desired information needed from the study.
