is.spread: Boolean check for a proper Spread

In IsoCheck: Isomorphism Check for Multi-Stage Factorial Designs with Randomization Restrictions

Description

Checks whether or not the input is a proper balanced (t-1)-spread of PG(n-1,2).

Usage

is.spread(spr, printstatements = TRUE)

Arguments

spr	A balanced spread of PG(n-1,2) stored as a three dimensional binary array (see Details and Examples of checkSpreadEquivalence).
printstatements	A Boolean indicating whether or not to print possible reasons for not being a spread if the input is not a spread.

Details

Checks whether or not the input is a proper balanced (t-1)-spread of PG(n-1,2). The spread should be formatted as a 3-dimensional array with spr[i,j,k] indicating whether or not the ith basic factor is present in the jth effect of the kth flat of spr. See Spencer et al. (2019) for details.

Value

A Boolean indicating whether or not the input is a spread.
