A New Method in the Construction of Multi-LevelSupersaturated Designs

Supersaturated designs are very useful in screening experiments. From nineties of the last century to present, the research on supersaturated designs has got fruitful results. Designs under study include two-level, multi-level and mixed-level types, and methods of construction include genius approaches, systematical constructions based on combinatorial theory, and computer search algorithms. Criteria for the evaluation of supersaturated designs have got deeper understanding, too. In this paper, a new method for the construction of supersaturated designs is introduced. This method is easy to use, and the supersaturated designs constructed have nice properties, and are expected useful in experimental practice.
