JuxtaOCDs: Juxtaposed Method for Optimal Covariate Designs (OCDs)
Description
Consider L matrix, construct resolvable sets by grouping columns into pairs that have the same ordered set of elements. For each pair, arrange the two column-sets horizontally (2(s-1)) and change the signs of any two sets. This new setup form the P_i matrix of order 2(s-1) x 2. Then superimpose the first column of P_i onto N and that produce W_i, where first set of order v x b will be W_i^11 and other set below is W_i^21. Likewise use second column of P_i to get W_i^12 and W_i^22. Repeat for every P_i to get collection of W_i's. The grand total of Hadamard product of all W_i^ij will be zero provided a foldover of any one of the W_i^ij is taken.
