Primes

• Curse Of Dimensionality
  • In experimental design, factorial designs with many factors require exponentially many runs, which is why fractional factorial and response-surface methods exist.

    This sourceFactorial designs require exponentially many runs in factor count, motivating fractional-factorial and response-surface methods.

• Experimental Design
  • It separates what we want to know (the causal estimand) from how we will know it (the identification strategy and data collection mechanism), a structure Box, Hunter, and Hunter (2005) make explicit in their classic treatment of statistics for experimenters.

    This sourceClassic treatment articulating the experimental cycle from causal question through treatment assignment, measurement protocol, and statistical analysis, separating what we want to know from how we will know it.

Domain-specific

• Fractional factorial design
  • Regular and nonregular fractions, resolution, generators and foldover plans determine which effects are confounded; sparsity and hierarchy assumptions justify the economy.

Mechanisms

• Controlled Surface Swatch Series
  • Its failure mode is the limit of one-factor-at-a-time experimentation

    This sourceExplains that one-factor-at-a-time experimentation can miss interactions that factorial designs detect.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 4 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
