Factor Screening in Simulation: Performance of a Two-Stage Random Balance/Plackett-Burman Procedure.

Abstract

In simulation models involving many factors (input variables), usually relatively few are important. Often it is desired to screen out these important factors using a limited number of computer runs. This paper examines the performance of a two-stage screening procedure based on random balance and Plackett-Burman designs. (Author)
