Ross-package: Ross Ordering

Description Details Author(s) References Examples

Description

To control order effects in questionnaires containing paired comparisons, Ross (1934) described an optimal ordering of the pairings. The functions in this package construct the optimally spaced, balanced ordering of pairings. They can also create subsets of the pairs for either a matrix-sampling design or a fully incomplete design.
