A new class of designs for mixture-of-mixture experiments

This paper deals with the implementation of an additive linear model for mixture of mixtures including major and minor components. Experimental designs, derived from designs for qualitative factors, are built for the two classical cases of type A or type B mixtures. With such designs the determination of the least square estimators of the model parameters or the determination of the D-efficiency can be achieved in an easy way.
