Abstract

The littice designs have prove efficient but they are not alwasy available. This article proposes an alternative, an almost lattice design, of the triple lattice design (v=36, k=6, r=4) which is not available. Here, we compare the almost lattice design to the .alpha.-design (v=36, k=6, r=4) which is another alternative of the triple lattice design (v=36, k=6, r=4). Consequently, we show the almost lattice design is a more efficient alternative than the $\alpha$-design through A-, D-, and E-optimality.
