Cluster Randomized Fractional Factorial Experiment

A cluster-randomized fractional factorial experiment combines two design principles: randomization is applied to intact groups (clusters such as schools, clinics, or communities) rather than individuals, and only a carefully chosen fraction of all possible factor-level combinations is tested. This pairing makes it practical to screen or evaluate multiple intervention components simultaneously in settings where individual randomization is infeasible, while keeping the number of required clusters manageable.
