Construction of Two-level Blocked Minimum Lower Order Confounding Designs

Zhang, Li, Zhao and Ai (2008) introduced an aliased effect-number pattern (AENP) and based on the AENP proposed a general minimum lower order confounding (GMC) criterion for selecting optimal fractional factorial designs. Later, it was extended to the case of block designs and a B-GMC criterion was proposed in Zhang and Mukerjee (2009b). In this paper, a construction theory of B-GMC
