Regarding redundancy requisites, high quality metering plans are obtained without requiring a formal optimization technique.
These example plans are obtained by an observation agent who does not know the logical encoding of the actions and the full state information between the actions.
Using these criteria and search methods, optimal foldover plans are obtained for each of the blocked fractional factorial plans given in Sun, Wu and Chen [1997. Optimal blocking schemes for 2n and 2n−p designs. Technometrics 39, 298 307] having nine or fewer factors.
These plans are obtained by adding any one run to an OA(n−1,m,2,3) for n≡1 (mod 8) and two specific runs to an OA(n−2,m,2,3) for n≡2 (mod 8).
Plans are obtained based on the trade-off among economic benefit, environmental and ecological benefit, social equity including Gross Domestic Product (GDP), conversion cost, geological suitability, ecological suitability, accessibility, Not In My Back Yard (NIMBY) influence, compactness, and compatibility.
New analytical expressions as well as new lower bounds of the mixture discrepancy criterion for both symmetric two-level and three-level combined designs under general foldover plans are obtained.
With this method, clinically acceptable treatment plans are obtained in less than 2 min. For comparison, the branch-and-bound method used to solve a mixed integer-programming model took close to 2.5 h to arrive at a feasible solution.
Plans were obtained from websites of health departments of states or provinces (USA, Australia, Canada), District Health Boards (New Zealand) and PCTs (England) (Figure S1).
Parcel building and floor plans were obtained for parcels with multiple or larger buildings.
Conformal 3D plans were obtained with box technique and 6-beam technique for PTV2 and PTV1, respectively.
