In this paper we introduce a new and large family of configurations whose toric ideals possess quadratic Groebner bases. As an application, a generalization of algebras of Segre-Veronese type will be studied.
Suppose several two-valued input-output systems are designed by setting the levels of several controllable factors. For this situation, Taguchi method has proposed to assign the controllable factors to the orthogonal array and use ANOVA model for the standardized SN ratio, which is a natural measure for evaluating the performance of each input-output system. Though this procedure is simple and useful in application indeed, the result can be unreliable when the estimated standard errors of the standardized SN ratios are unbalanced. In this paper, we treat the data arising from the full factorial or fractional factorial designs of several controllable factors as the frequencies of high-dimensional contingency tables, and propose a general testing procedure for the main effects or the interaction effects of the controllable factors.
We consider conditional exact tests of factor effects in designed experiments for discrete response variables. Similarly to the analysis of contingency tables, a Markov chain Monte Carlo method can be used for performing exact tests, when large-sample approximations are poor and the enumeration of the conditional sample space is infeasible. For designed experiments with a single observation for each run, we formulate log-linear or logistic models and consider a connected Markov chain over an appropriate sample space. In particular, we investigate fractional factorial designs with $2^{p-q}$ runs, noting correspondences to the models for $2^{p-q}$ contingency tables.
Extending the notion of indispensable binomials of a toric ideal, we define indispensable monomials of a toric ideal and establish some of their properties. They are useful for searching indispensable binomials of a toric ideal and for proving the existence or non-existence of a unique minimal system of binomials generators of a toric ideal. Some examples of indispensable monomials from statistical models for contingency tables are given.
