Performance Evaluation of a Specific Factor Screening Technique.
Abstract
In many experimental situations (particularly in computer simulation studies) a large number of potentially important factors exist. Because of time and budget limitations, it is imperative to screen these factors in order to identify a subset which should be subjected to more detailed examination. This paper evaluates the performance of a factor-screening technique which has been proposed for use when it is known that there is at most one active factor (i.e., a factor which has an effect on the response of interest). Performance evaluation reveals that the existence of even a relatively small amount of random error renders essentially useless a procedure which performs well in the deterministic case. (Author)
