This article presents a comparison of criteria used to characterize two-level designs for screening purposes. To articulate the relationships among criteria, we focus on seven-factor designs with 16–3
N1 to N11 represent the nutrient factors in the following order with the low and high uncoded values in brackets: casein (1&7 g/L), peptone (1&7 g/L), lactose (1&5 g/L), sucrose (1&5 g/L), fructose (1
The purpose of a screening experiment is to accurately and cost-efficiently identify the few most influential factors from among the many studied. Two types of screening experiments use orthogonal arr
