There is currently no general approach to orthogonally block two-level and multi-level orthogonal arrays and mixed-level orthogonal arrays. In this article, we present a mixed integer linear programming approach that seeks an optimal blocking arrangement for any type of regular and nonregular...

This article provides an overview of the recent literature on the design of blocked and split-plot experiments with quantitative experimental variables. A detailed literature study introduces the ongoing debate between an optimal design approach to constructing blocked and split-plot designs and...
