In this dissertation, we focus on the study of a significant category of efficient three-level screening designs, known as definitive screening (DS) designs. Over the past 15 years, DS designs have been systematically studied due to their advantages over traditional two-level screening designs. Initially constructed with three zeros per column, DS designs have evolved to include more zeros per column, improving further their efficiency compared to the original DS designs.
We present a methodology for constructing efficient DS designs with minimum correlation between columns representing quadratic effects, for every run order n and two and three columns. We use these designs and an extension algorithm to construct optimal designs with more than three columns. Additionally, we provide complete lists of non-isomorphic DS designs with odd n (13 ≤n≤ 33), 2 ≤ p ≤ (n – 1)/2 columns, and 3, 5, or 7 zeros per column. All constructed designs are evaluated using known criteria to identify the best designs for each n studied.
