DoE.base (version 0.5)

DoE.base-package: Full factorials, orthogonal arrays and base utilities for DoE packages

Description

This package creates full factorial designs and designs from orthogonal arrays. In addition, it provides some base utilities like an exporting function for the DoE packages FrF2, DoE.wrapper and RcmdrPlugin.DoE (the latter two are still under development and not on CRAN). Parts of the package are currently in a somewhat experimental stage, in particular the orthogonal array functionality and the exporting facility.

Details

Parts of the package are currently in a somewhat experimental stage, in particular the orthogonal array functionality and the exporting facility. Please contact me, if you have suggestions. This package designs Full Factorial experiments and main effects experiments based on orthogonal arrays. Some aspects of functions fac.design and oa.design have been modeled after the functions of the same name given in Chambers and Hastie (1993) (e.g. for the option factor.names or for outputting a data frame with attributes). However, S compatibility has not been considered in devising this package. This package is used as a basis for packages FrF2, DoE.wrapper and RcmdrPlugin.DoE (the latter two are not yet published). Package FrF2 relies on fac.design for full factorials in 2-level factors. This functionality has been sufficiently tested and is not considered experimental.
