Multi-response Fractional Factorial Design — Simultaneous Optimization of Multiple Outputs

Multi-response fractional factorial design (MRFFD) applies a resolution-efficient fractional factorial experiment to study multiple response variables simultaneously. By running only a carefully chosen fraction of the full factorial treatment combinations, the experimenter gathers enough information to fit individual response models for each output and then optimize all responses jointly — typically via a composite desirability function — while keeping the number of experimental runs tractable.
