In ForLion: 'ForLion' Algorithm to Find D-Optimal Designs for Experiments

function to generate random initial design with design points and the approximate allocation (For EW)

Description

function to generate random initial design with design points and the approximate allocation (For EW)

Usage

EW_design_initial_self(
  k.continuous,
  factor.level,
  lvec,
  uvec,
  bvec_matrix,
  h.func,
  link = "continuation",
  EW_Fi.func = EW_Fi_MLM_func,
  delta = 1e-06,
  epsilon = 1e-12,
  maxit = 1000
)

Arguments

k.continuous	number of continuous variables
factor.level	lower, upper limit of continuous variables, and discrete levels of categorical variables, continuous factors come first
lvec	lower limit of continuous variables
uvec	upper limit of continuous variables
bvec_matrix	the matrix of the bootstrap parameter values of beta
h.func	function, is used to transfer the design point to model matrix (e.g. add interaction term, add intercept)
link	link function, default "continuation", other options "baseline", "adjacent" and "cumulative"
EW_Fi.func	function, is used to calculate the Expectation of Fisher information for a design point - default to be EW_Fi_MLM_func() in the package
delta	tuning parameter, the distance threshold, || x_i(0) - x_j(0) || >= delta
epsilon	determining f.det > 0 numerically, f.det <= epsilon will be considered as f.det <= 0
maxit	maximum number of iterations

Value

X matrix of initial design point

p0 initial random approximate allocation

f.det the determinant of Fisher information matrix for the random initial design

Examples

k.continuous.temp=1
link.temp = "continuation"
n.factor.temp = c(0)
factor.level.temp = list(c(80,200))
hfunc.temp = function(y){
matrix(data=c(1,y,y*y,0,0,0,0,0,1,y,0,0,0,0,0), nrow=3, ncol=5, byrow=TRUE)
}
lvec.temp = 80
uvec.temp = 200
bvec_bootstrap<-matrix(c(-0.2401, -1.9292, -2.7851, -1.614,-1.162,
                         -0.0535, -0.0274, -0.0096,-0.0291, -0.04,
                          0.0004,  0.0003,  0.0002,  0.0003,  0.1,
                         -9.2154, -9.7576, -9.6818, -8.5139, -8.56),nrow=4,byrow=TRUE)
EW_design_initial_self(k.continuous=k.continuous.temp, factor.level=n.factor.temp, lvec=lvec.temp,
uvec=uvec.temp, bvec_matrix=bvec_bootstrap, h.func=hfunc.temp, link=link.temp)
