Abstract

The asymmetrical or mixed-level factorial design is a kind of important design in practice. There is a natural problem on how to choose an optimal (s 2)s n design for the practical need, where s is any prime or prime power. This paper considers the clear effects criterion for selecting good designs. It answers the questions of when an (s 2)s n design with fixed number of runs contains clear two-factor interaction (in brief 2fi) components and when it contains clear main effects or clear 2fis. It further gives the complete classification of (s 2)s n designs according to the clear 2fi components, main effects and 2fis they have.
