in a design with the highest possible resolutions. Montgomery (1997)
lists many good 2 k p fractional factorial designs.
Summary 2 k p designs are the workhorse of industrial experi-
ments, because they can analyze many factors simultaneously with
relative efficiency (i.e., with few experimental runs). The experi-
ment design is also straightforward because each factor has only
two settings.
