Sensitivity Analysis with Fractional Factorial Design

Sensitivity analysis with fractional factorial design (SA-FFD) is an experimental screening method that uses a carefully chosen fraction of all possible factor combinations to identify which input variables most strongly influence a system's output. By running only 2^(k-p) experiments instead of a full 2^k factorial, it makes sensitivity ranking feasible when many factors are present. The approach is widely used in engineering, product development, simulation modeling, and process optimization.
