Abstract
When limited resources are available, determining the optimal number of observations to use in multivariate measurement design is not a simple task. This paper presents a method for determining the optimal number of conditions to use in measurement designs when resource constraints are imposed. The method is illustrated using a multivariate two-facet design, and extensions to other designs are discussed.Keywords
