We propose a general and unified approach to the selection of regular fractional factorial designs, which can be applied to experiments that are unblocked, blocked or have a split-plot structure. Our criterion is derived as a good surrogate for the model-robustness criterion of information capacity. In the case of random block effects, it takes the ratio of intra- and interblock variances into account. In most of the cases we have examined, there exist designs that are optimal for all values of…
