Title: Efficient Row-Column Designs for 3 Level Factorial Experiments in 3 Rows
Version: 0.1.1
Maintainer: Sukanta Dash <sukanta.iasri@gmail.com>
Description: Provides functions to construct efficient row-column designs for 3-level factorial experiments in 3 rows. The designs ensure the estimation of all main effects (full efficiency) and two factor interactions in minimum replications. For more details, see Dey, A. and Mukerjee, R. (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2012.06.014> and Dash, S., Parsad, R., and Gupta, V. K. (2013) <doi:10.1007/s40003-013-0059-5>.

Efficient Row-Column Designs for 3-Level Factorial Experiments in 3 Rows

Description

Constructs efficient row-column designs for 3-level factorial experiments with 3 rows. The designs ensure the estimation of all main effects (full efficiency) and two-factor interactions in minimum replications.

Usage

rcd3(n_factors = 3, show_efficiency = TRUE, show_replications = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

n_factors

Number of factors in the experiment (integer >= 2). Each factor has 3 levels.

show_efficiency

Logical; if TRUE, prints efficiency factors for all main effects and two-factor interactions. Default is TRUE.

show_replications

Logical; if TRUE, prints full replications in row-column format preserving the original row/column labels. Default is TRUE.

verbose

Logical; if TRUE, displays progress messages and block tables using message(). Default is TRUE.

Details

Generates efficient row-column designs of 3-level factorial experiments in 3 rows, enabling estimation of all main effects (full efficiency) and two-factor interactions in minimum number of replications. Progress messages and principal block tables are displayed if verbose = TRUE.

Value

A list with the following components:

factors

Vector of factor names.

normalized_effects

Matrix of normalized main effects and two-factor interactions.

effect_labels

Vector of effect labels corresponding to normalized effects.

chosen_principal_blocks

List of selected principal blocks (matrices).

efficiency_factors

Named vector of efficiency factors for all main effects and two-factor interactions (if show_efficiency = TRUE).

replications

Nested list of full replications; final row-column design for a given number of factors.
