Title: Efficient Block Designs for 3-Level Factorial Experiments in Block Size 3
Version: 0.1.1
Description: Provides functions to construct efficient block designs for 3-level factorial experiments in block size 3. The designs ensure the estimation of all main effects and two-factor interactions in minimum number of replications.

Efficient Block Designs for 3-Level Factorial Experiments in Block Size 3

Description

Constructs efficient block designs for 3-level factorial experiments in block size 3, ensuring estimation of all main effects (with full efficiency) and two-factor interactions.

Usage

bdf3.mef(n_factors, show_efficiency = TRUE)

Arguments

n_factors

An integer specifying the number of factors.

show_efficiency

Logical. If TRUE, efficiency factors are computed and displayed; if FALSE, they are omitted.

Details

This function generates efficient block designs for 3-level factorial experiments in block size 3. The resulting designs allow estimation of all main effects (with full efficiency) and two-factor interactions in minimum number of replications.

Value

A list containing:

blocks

The chosen principal blocks

confounded_effects

The confounded main effects and two-factor interactions

efficiency_factors

Efficiency factors of all main effects and two-factor interactions (if show_efficiency = TRUE)

design

The final block design for the given number of factors
