文摘Split-plot designs have been widely used in industrial experiments.Up to now,most methods for choosing this kind of designs are based on the minimum aberration (MA) criterion.Recently,by introducing a new pattern,called aliased effect-number pattern (AENP),Zhang et al.proposed a general minimum lowerorder confounding (denoted by GMC for short) criterion and established a general minimum confounding (also denoted by GMC for saving notations) theory.It is proved that,the GMC criterion selects optimal designs in a more elaborate manner than the existing ones,and when an experimenter has a prior about the importance ordering of factors in experiments the GMC designs are better than other optimal designs.In this paper we extend the GMC criterion to the split-plot design case and give a GMC-FFSP criterion for ranking split-plot designs.Some comparisons of the new criterion with the MA-MSA-FFSP criterion are given,and the optimal 32-run split-plot designs up to 14 factors under the two criteria are tabulated for comparison and application.
