Comparison of the Optimal Design: Split-Plot Experiments

Abstract

Over the past decade, there have been rapid advances in the development of methods for the design and analysis of optimal split-plot experiment. Industrial experimentation involving optimality criteria has not been fully exhausted. In this study, we present a literature review on the development of optimal design of split-plot experiments. Split-plot designs, optimality criteria are discussed. Recent developments of optimal split-plot designs is evaluated and compared.
