This package contains function for generating polycross designs using nine methods available in literature.
type1: v(>2) such that (v+1) is a prime number;
type1 is a series of polycross designs generated using the method given by Olesen and Olesen (1973).
type2: v (>2) is taken such that (v+1) is a prime number;
type2 is a series of completely balanced polycross designs generated using the method given by Olesen (1976).
type3: v(>2) is any integer;
type3 is a series of polycross designs with complete neighbour balance generated using the method given by Morgan (1988).
type4: v=5,7,9 or 11.
type4 is a series of balanced polycross designs given by Morgan(1988).
type5: v (>2) is taken in such a way that (v+1) is a prime number;
type5 is a series of Neighbour-balanced polycross designs for v genotypes (where v+1 is prime) for polycross trials as given in Varghese et al. (2015).
type6: v (>4) is any odd number;
type6 is a series of Neighbour-balanced polycross designs for v genotypes (where v is an odd number) for polycross trials as given in Varghese et al. (2015).
type7: v(>2)= 2*m, where, m is an odd positive integer;
type7 is a series of Neighbour-restricted block designs for polycross trials as given in Varghese et al. (2015).
type8: v = 4*m, where m is any positive integer;
type8 is a series of Neighbour-restricted row–column designs for polycross trials as given in Varghese et al. (2015).
type9: v is a prime number but (v-1) should be a multiple of 3;
type9 is a series of Polycross designs for directional wind system for polycross trials as given in Varghese et al. (2015).
PD(v, type)This function generates polycross designs using various methods for a given number of genotypes (v).
v is number of genotypes
