Follow-up experimental designs are popularly used in industry. In practice, some important factors may be neglected for various reasons in the first-stage experiment and they need to be added in the next stage. In this paper, we propose a method for augmenting supersaturated designs with newly added factors and augmented levels using the Bayesian D-optimality criterion. In addition, we suggest using the integrated Bayesian D-optimal augmented design to plan the follow-up experiment when the newly added factors have been allowed to vary in an appropriate region. Examples and simulation results show that the augmented designs perform well in improving identified rates of latent factor effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
