AlgDesign (version 1.2.0)

eval.design: Evaluates a design.

Description

A design is evaluated.

Usage

eval.design(frml,design,confounding=FALSE,variances=TRUE,center=FALSE,X=NULL)

Arguments

frml

The formula used to create the design.

design

The design, which may be the design part of the output of optFederov().

confounding

If confounding=TRUE, the confounding patterns will be shown.

variances

If TRUE, the variances each term will be output.

center

If TRUE, numeric variables will be centered before frml is applied.

X

X is either the matrix describing the prediction space for I or for G, the the candidate set from which the design was chosen. They are often the same.

Value

confounding

A matrix. The columns of which give the regression coefficients of each variable regressed on the others. If \(C\) is the confounding matrix, then \(-ZC\) is a matrix of residuals of the variables regressed on the other variables.

determinant

\(|M|^{1/k}\), where \(M=Z'Z/N\), and Z is the model expanded \(N\times k\) design matrix.

A

The average coefficient variance: \(trace(Mi)/k\), where \(Mi\) is the inverse of \(M\).

I

The average prediction variance over X, which can be shown to be \(trace((X'X*Mi)/N)\).

Ge

The minimax normalized variance over X, expressed as an efficiency with respect to the optimal approximate theory design. It is defined as \(k/max(d)\), where \(max(d)\) is the maximum normalized variance over \(X\) -- i.e. the max of \(x'(Mi)x\), over all rows \(x'\) of \(X\).

Dea

A lower bound on D efficiency for approximate theory designs. It is equal to \(exp(1-1/Ge)\).

diagonality

The diagonality of the design, excluding the constant, if any. Diagonality is defined as \((|M_1|/\prod{diag(M_1)})^{1/k}\), where \(M_1\) is \(M\) with first column and row deleted when there is a constant.

gmean.variances

The geometric mean of the coefficient variances.
