Extended mixed-level supersaturated designs.

This paper considers the study of the optimality of the extended design generated by adding few runs to an existing E ( χ 2 ) -optimal mixed-level supersaturated design. This paper covers the work of Gupta et al. (2010, 2012) on extended two-level and s -level supersaturated designs as two special cases. A lower bound to E ( χ 2 ) has been obtained for the proposed designs. A small example is presented here attaining the lower bound. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
