DT_expdesigns: Data for different experimental designs

DT_expdesignsR Documentation

Data for different experimental designs

Description

The following data is a list containing data frames for different type of experimental designs relevant in plant breeding:

1) Augmented designs (2 examples)

2) Incomplete block designs (1 example)

3) Split plot design (2 examples)

4) Latin square designs (1 example)

5) North Carolina designs I,II and III

How to fit each is shown at the Examples section. This may help you get introduced to experimental designs relevant to plant breeding. Good luck.

Format

Different based on the design.

Source

Datasets and more detail about them can be found in the agricolae package. Here we just show the datasets and how to analyze them using the sommer package.
