occurrences: Extract or set attribute level occurrences

In spdesign: Designing Stated Preference Experiments

Extract or set attribute level occurrences

Description

This function will set the range of attribute level occurrences equal to to the size of the design. This is equivalent to fully letting go of attribute level balance. Letting go of attribute level balance is the default behavior for the Modified Federov algorithm and the Random algorithm.

Usage

occurrences(x, rows)

Arguments

x	An object of class 'utility' or 'spdesign'
rows	Number of rows in the design

Details

If restrictions are placed on attribute level occurrence in the utility function, then this function will extract these and add them to the output.

Notice that specifying restrictions in the utility function only matters for the Modified Federov and Random algorithms and will in general result in a less efficient design.

Value

A named list of lists where the outer list is for the attributes and the inner list, the levels of each attribute and the number or range of times they can occur
