fracDesign: fracDesign

Description

Generates a 2^k full- or fractional factorial design.

Usage

fracDesign(k = 3, gen = NULL, replicates = 1, blocks = 1, centerCube = 0, random.seed = 1234)

Arguments

k
numeric value giving the number of factors. By default k is set to 3.
gen
one or more defining relations for a fractional factorial design. By default gen is set to NULL.
replicates
numeric value giving the number of replicates per factor combination. By default replicates is set to 1.
blocks
numeric value giving the number of blocks. By default blocks is set to 1.
centerCube
numeric value giving the number of centerpoints within the 2^k design. By default centerCube is set to 0.
random.seed
seed for randomization of the design

Value

  • fracDesign returns an object of class facDesign.

Details

fracDesign generates 2^k full- or fractional factorial designs.

Examples

Run this code
vp.full = facDesign(k = 3)                                  #returns a 2^3 full factorial design
vp.full = blocking(vp.full, 2)                              #design in 2 blocks
response(vp.full) = rnorm(2^3)                              #generate some random response
summary(vp.full)                                            #summary of the full factorial design (especially no defining relation)

vp.frac = fracDesign(k = 4, gen = "D=ABC")                  #returns a 2^4-1 fractional factorial design. Factor D will be aliased with
response(vp.frac) = rnorm(2^(4-1))                          #the three-way-interaction ABC (i.e. I = ABCD)
summary(vp.frac)                                            #summary of the fractional factorial design

vp.rep = fracDesign(k = 3, replicates = 3, centerCube = 4)  #returns a full factorial design with 3 replications per factor combination and 4 center points
summary(vp.rep)                                             #summary of the replicated fractional factorial Design
