Improving fractional design resolution

Foldover designs increase resolution 

Partial foldover designs break up specific alias patterns

Earlier we saw how fractional factorial designs resulted in an alias structure that confounded certain main effects with certain interactions. Often it is useful to know how to run a few additional treatment combinations to remove alias structures that might be masking significant effects or interactions. 

Two methods will be described for selecting these additional treatment combinations:
