Wrapper package for design of experiments functionality

Description

This package creates various kinds of designs for (industrial) experiments. It uses, and sometimes enhances, design generation routines from other packages. So far, response surface designs from package rsm, designs for computer experiments (latin hypercube samples etc.) from packages lhs and DiceDesign and D-optimal designs from package AlgDesign have been implemented.

Details

Currently, the package provides classical response surface designs from package rsm: Box-Behnken designs by Box and Behnken (function bbd.design and central composite designs by Box and Wilson (ccd.design) are implemented. For the latter, there is also a function for augmenting 2-level fractional factorials into central composite designs (ccd.design).

Furthermore, latin hypercube samples and other designs for computer experiments from packages lhs and DiceDesign are provided.

Furthermore, D-optimal designs have been implemented, using package AlgDesign. This implementation is currently in beta shape.

All designs created by this package are class design objects, which are data frames with attributes.

Apart from providing designs, the package also provides functions for comparing the quality of several designs with quantitative variables (function compare).

Note

This package is still under (slow) development. Reports about bugs and inconveniences are welcome.
