ffDesMatrix: Full or fractional factorial design matrix generation

Description

The function generates the design matrix provided the number of 2-levels design factors and defining relations.

Usage

ffDesMatrix(k, gen = NULL)

Arguments

k

numeric. The number of 2-levels design factors in the designs.

gen

list. If NULL (default) a full factorial design is generated. Otherwise, each component of the list is a numeric vector of corresponding to each of the defining relations used to compose the design. See Details

Value

• The function returns a 2-levels design matrix with k columns.

Details

A defining relation is declared by a vector where the first entry corresponds to the left hand side (LHS) of the defining equation. For example, if k=5, and gen=list(c(-5,1,2,3,4)), then the defining equation is $-5=1*2*3*4$. A full 2-levels (-1,1) factorial design is generated. For each defining relation the LHS column is replaced by the corresponding columns product. At the end repeated runs are removed from the matrix.

Examples

ffDesMatrix(5) # Full 2^5 factorial design
ffDesMatrix(5,gen=list(c(5,1,2,3,4))) # 2^(5-1) factorial design
ffDesMatrix(5,gen=list(c(4,1,2),c(-5,1,3))) # 2^(5-2) factorial design
