Infeasible Factor Combinati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

Especially when there are categorical factors with multiple<br />

levels, it is <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>ten the case that certain factor combinati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

are either infeasible or even impossible to run.<br />

For example the Navy attack aircraft, A4, could not operate<br />

at night. The A6 was able to operate day or night. Suppose<br />

you want to run an experiment with both aircraft testing three<br />

different weap<strong>on</strong> systems under varying light c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

How can we accomplish this given the problem with the A4<br />

not being able to fly at night?
