요약	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.	A fractional factorial experiment is a resource-efficient experimental design that tests only a carefully chosen fraction of all possible factor-level combinations. By exploiting the principle that high-order interactions are usually negligible, it identifies the main effects and low-order interactions of k factors using far fewer runs than a full factorial design — making it the workhorse of industrial and engineering screening experiments.
