design.alpha: Alpha design type (0,1)

Description

Creates alpha designs starting from the alpha design fixing under the 4 series formulated by Patterson and Williams.

Usage

design.alpha(trt, k, r, serie = 2, seed = 0, kinds = "Super-Duper",randomization=TRUE)

Arguments

kinds

method for to randomize

randomization

TRUE or FALSE - randomize

Value

Details

Parameters for the alpha design: I. r=2, k <= s; II. r=3, s odd, k <= s; III.r=3, s even, k <= s-1; IV. r=4, s odd but not a multiple of 3, k<=s

r= replications s=number of blocks k=size of block Number of treatment is equal to k*s
