สรุป	A pilot fractional factorial experiment is a small-scale preliminary study that uses a fractional factorial design — testing only a subset of all possible factor combinations — to screen multiple factors simultaneously before committing to a full-scale investigation. It provides early estimates of effect sizes, variance, and feasibility at substantially reduced cost and participant burden compared to a full factorial pilot or a full-scale trial.	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.
