Orthogonal blocking of regular and nonregular strength-3 designs

SARTONO, Bagus; GOOS, Peter; SCHOEN, Eric D. - Faculteit Toegepaste Economische Wetenschappen, … - 2012

There is currently no general approach to orthogonally block two-level and multi-level orthogonal arrays and mixed-level orthogonal arrays. In this article, we present a mixed integer linear programming approach that seeks an optimal blocking arrangement for any type of regular and nonregular...

Health selection and the effect of smoking on mortality

Adda, Jérôme; Lechene, Valerie - 2011

We show that individuals who are in poorer health, independently from smoking, are more likely to start smoking and to smoke more cigarettes than those with better non-smoking health. We present evidence of selection, relying on extensive data on morbidity and mortality. We show that health...
