Abstract: Abstract The research of developing efficient methodologies for constructing optimal experimental designs has been very active in the last decade. Uniform design is one of the most popular approaches, carried out by filling up experimental points in a determinately uniform fashion. Applications of coding theory in experimental design are interesting and promising. Quaternary codes and their binary Gray map images attracted much attention from those researching design of experiments in recent years. The present paper aims at exploring new results for constructing uniform designs based on quaternary codes and their binary Gray map images. This paper studies the optimality of quaternary designs and their two and three binary Gray map image designs in terms of the uniformity criteria measured by: the Lee, wrap-around, symmetric, centered and mixture discrepancies. Strong relationships between quaternary designs and their two and three binary Gray map image designs are obtained, which can be used for efficiently constructing two-level designs from four-level designs and vice versa. The significance of this work is evaluated by comparing our results to the existing literature.
