An efficient method for identifying clear effects in blocked fractional factorial designs

This paper presents a unified numerical method based on the double coincidence distribution for identifying clear or strongly clear main effects or two-factor interactions in a blocked regular fractional factorial design. An example illustrates that it is much more efficient to carry out this method by computer programming than when using the original definitions of clear or strongly clear effects.
