Algebras for Experimental Design
Experimental design is a fundamental component of any investigation on the causal effects of treatment factors on a response. Algebraic concepts and topics, such as finite fields/Galois field theory, are useful for the construction and characterization of a class of experimental designs, known as fractional factorial designs, that are widely applied in physical experiments. This…
