DeclareDesign

DeclareDesign-package

The four main types of functions are to declare a step, to combine steps into designs,
and to manipulate designs and designers (functions that return designs).

Researchers can characterize and learn about the properties of
research designs before implementation using `DeclareDesign`. Ex ante
declaration and diagnosis of designs can help researchers clarify the
strengths and limitations of their designs and to improve their
properties, and can help readers evaluate a research strategy prior
to implementation and without access to results. It can also make it
easier for designs to be shared, replicated, and critiqued.
