Boptbd-internal: Internal function

In Boptbd: Bayesian Optimal Block Designs

Internal function

Description

This function is for internal usage only

Usage

 
## Computes Bayesian A-optimal block designs
## using block/array exchange algorithm
Baoptbd(trt.N, blk.N, alpha, beta, nrep, brep, itr.cvrgval)
 
## Computes Bayesian D-optimal  block designs
## using block/array exchange algorithm
Bdoptbd(trt.N, blk.N, alpha, beta, nrep, brep, itr.cvrgval)

Arguments

trt.N	integer, specifying number of treatments, v.
blk.N	integer, specifying number of arrays, b.
alpha	numeric, representing shape parameter of beta distribution.
beta	numeric, representing shape parameter of beta distribution.
nrep	integer, specifying number of replications of the optimization procedure.
brep	integer, specifying number of Monte Carlo samples from a prior beta distribution, Beta(alpha, beta).
itr.cvrgval	integer, specifying number of iterations required for convergence during the exchange procedure. See Boptbd documentation for details.

Details

These functions are handled via a generic function Boptbd. Please refer to the Boptbd documentation for details.
