Optimal Screening Designs

A computing device obtains a metric N indicating a quantity of a plurality of test cases for an output design of an experiment Each element of a test case of the output design is a test condition for testing one of factors for the experiment. The computing device obtains input indicating a quantity p of an indicated plurality of factors for the output design. The computing device determines whether there are stored instructions for generating an initial screening design for the experiment. The computing device responsive to determining that there are stored instructions, selects, using the stored instructions, the initial screening design for the experiment. The computing device determines whether to modify the initial screening design based on modification criteria comprising a secondary criterion, the metric N, and/or the quantity p. The computing device outputs an indication of the updated screening design for the output design of the experiment.
