Abstract

Screening experiments are conducted to identify a few active factors among a large number of factors. For the objective of identifying active factors, Box and Meyer provided an innovative approach, the Box–Meyer method (BMM). With the use of means models, we propose a modification of the BMM in this paper. Compared with the original BMM, the modified BMM (MBMM) can circumvent the problem that the original BMM runs into, namely that it may fail to identify some active factors due to the ignorance of higher order interactions. Furthermore, the number of explanatory variables in the MBMM is smaller. Therefore, the computational complexity is reduced. Finally, three examples with different types of designs are used to demonstrate the wide applicability of the MBMM.
