To choose a subset of the treatment combinations, you can begin with the 24 design. Table 8.16 presents the 16 possible treatment combinations for this full factorial design, along with the pattern of pluses and minuses for the main effects (the columns headed by A, B, C, and D) and the ABCD interaction.
