initKarpExperimentalDesignObject: Begin Karp Search

In GreedyExperimentalDesign: Greedy Experimental Design Construction

Begin Karp Search

Description

This method creates an object of type karp_experimental_design and will immediately initiate a search through allocation space. Note that the Karp search only works for one covariate (i.e. $p=1$) and the objective "abs_sum_diff".

Usage

initKarpExperimentalDesignObject(
  X,
  wait = FALSE,
  balanced = TRUE,
  start = TRUE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

X	The design matrix with $n$ rows (one for each subject) and $p$ columns (one for each measurement on the subject). This is the design matrix you wish to search for a more karp design.
wait	Should the R terminal hang until all max_designs vectors are found? The deafult is FALSE.
balanced	Should the final vector be balanced? Default and recommended is TRUE.
start	Should we start searching immediately (default is TRUE).
verbose	Should the algorithm emit progress output? Default is TRUE.

Value

An object of type karp_experimental_design_search which can be further operated upon
