Wrapper package for design of experiments functionality

Description

This package creates various kinds of designs for (industrial) experiments. It uses, and sometimes enhances, design generation routines from other packages. Initially, response surface designs from package rsm and latin hypercube samples from package lhs have been implemented.

Details

Currently, the package provides classical response surface designs from package rsm: Box-Behnken designs by Box and Behnken (function bbd.design and central composite designs by Box and Wilson (ccd.design) are implemented. For the latter, there is also a function for augmenting 2-level fractional factorials into central composite designs (ccd.design).

Furthermore, latin hypercube samples from package lhs are provided.

It is planned to also provide access to D-optimal designs using package AlgDesign. This may take some time, however.

All functions in this package provide class design objects, which are data frames with attributes.

Note

This package is currently under intensive development. Substantial changes are to be expected in the near future.
