If you missed the irony in the previous sentence, you may struggle with my writing style.

Even the idea that the MVT term is used is an indication of how slow we have been. Why would anyone think to try one-factor-at-a-time-experiments when they know of DoE? For those interested here are some DoE articles http://curiouscat.net/library/designofexperiments.cfm Design of experiments is indeed a valuable concept that has been around for decades but is still far too little used.

Not because of the discussion of MVT but from the other insights you've shared. Thanks! From my understanding, Fractional Factorial comes from design of experiments (DoE) and is a specific type of analysis and test design. While multivariate testing is a broader term for any testing done with multiple specified variables. Outside of marketing, multivariate testing is done often in science. I wrote up an article on full vs fractional factorial test design, you might find it interesting: http://testingblog.widemile.com/2008/07/24/primer-full-and-fractional-factorial-test-design/ Thanks again, I'll have to check out "First, Break All the Rules" I came across your post while reading what others are writing multivariate testing and was glad I read it.
