cbc_inspect: Comprehensive design quality inspection

In jhelvy/cbcTools: Design and Analyze Choice-Based Conjoint Experiments

Comprehensive design quality inspection

Description

This function provides detailed inspection of choice experiment designs across multiple dimensions including design structure, efficiency metrics, attribute balance, overlap patterns, and variable encoding.

Usage

cbc_inspect(design, sections = "all", verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

design	A cbc_design object created by cbc_design()
sections	Character vector specifying which sections to show. Options: "structure", "efficiency", "balance", "overlap", "encoding", or "all" (default). Can specify multiple: c("balance", "overlap")
verbose	Logical. If TRUE, shows additional technical details. If FALSE (default), shows simplified output.

Value

A cbc_inspection object containing the inspection results

Examples

library(cbcTools)

# Create profiles and design
profiles <- cbc_profiles(
  price = c(1, 2, 3),
  type = c("A", "B", "C"),
  quality = c("Low", "High")
)

design <- cbc_design(
  profiles = profiles,
  n_alts = 2,
  n_q = 4
)

# Inspect all sections (default) - prints automatically
cbc_inspect(design)

# Store results for later use
inspection <- cbc_inspect(design, sections = "balance")
inspection  # prints the same output

# Verbose output with technical details
cbc_inspect(design, verbose = TRUE)
