Mutual Information as a Criterion for Evaluating the Degree of the Orthogonality of Nearly Orthogonal Arrays

ABSTRACT

The orthogonality is an important property in the experimental designs. When we use nearly orthogonal arrays(for example, supersaturated designs), we need evaluate the degree of the orthogonality of given nearly orthogonal arrays. We can use the mutual information as a new criterion for evaluating and testing the degree of the orthogonality of given nearly orthogonal arrays.
