-There are k factors of interest each having 2 levels. There are only enough resources to run 1/2 p of the
full factorial 2k design. Thus, we say we want to run a 1/2 p fraction of a 2k design. This design is
called a 2 k−p fractional factorial design.
– Suppose there are 7 factors of interest (A, B, C, D, E, F, G). There are only enough resources for 16
experimental runs which is 1/8 of a 27 design. Thus, we want to runa 1/8 fraction of a 27 design. This
design is called a 27−3 fractional factorial design.[1]
