star_to_spread: Converts a star to its corresponding spread

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

Description

A function that converts a balanced covering star St(n, mu, t, t_0) of PG(n-1,2) to its corresponding balanced ((t-t_0)-1)-spread of PG((n-t_0)-1,2).

Usage

star_to_spread(star)

Arguments

star	A balanced covering star of PG(n-1,2) stored as a three dimensional binary array (see Details and Examples of checkSpreadEquivalence).

Details

Finds a balanced ((t-t_0)-1)-spread of PG((n-t_0)-1,2) embedded in PG(n-1,2) as conformable with the geometry of a balanced covering star St(n, mu, t, t_0) of PG(n-1,2). The star should be formatted as a 3-dimensional array with star[i,j,k] indicating whether or not the ith basic factor is present in the jth effect of the kth flat of star. See Spencer et al. (2019) for details.

Value

A balanced ((t-t_0)-1)-spread of PG((n-t_0)-1,2)
