I am implementing statistical analysis in a C# program and am using the Taguchi Method to do it (the Taguchi arrays are about a 1/4th of the way down the page).

The article in the above link mentions that you can look up smaller Taguchi arrays and derive others, but I can't seem to find any resource that explains how to derive these Taguchi arrays. I can hard-code the smaller arrays in my program, but I want to be able to derive the others.

Is there a resource or link that explains, as simply as possible, how to derive Taguchi arrays? Maybe would someone here be able to explain how to derive them?

  • $\begingroup$ Sorry, these high-quality books are written in French, but perhaps there exist English versions, I don't know ; books.google.fr/… and books.google.fr/… $\endgroup$

There is an interesting web-site A Library of Orthogonal Arrays by N. J. A. Sloane

Then Orthogonal Arrays : Theory and Applications by A.S. Hedayat, N.J.A. Sloane and John Stufken.

A more elementary book is Orthogonal Array : A Guide Book for Beginners - Demystifying Software Testing

  • $\begingroup$ Do any of those say how the tables are actually derived though? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The TOC for Orthogonal Arrays: Theory and Applications has a chapter about the construction of orthogonal arrays. I couldn't find the text for that chapter (some other chapters are partly on Google Books) but it suggests the tables are derived from error correcting codes. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The Hedayat reference certainly have the theory $\endgroup$
