design.rcbd {agricolae}

Randomized Complete Block Design

Description

It generates Randomized Complete Block Design. "Random" uses the methods of number generation in R. The seed is by set.seed(seed, kinds).

Usage

design.rcbd(trt, r, serie = 2, seed = 0, kinds = "Super-Duper", first=TRUE,
continue=FALSE,randomization=TRUE )

Arguments

trt

Treatments

r

Replications or blocks

serie

number plot, 1: 11,12; 2: 101,102; 3: 1001,1002

seed

seed

kinds

method for to randomize

first

TRUE or FALSE - randomize rep 1

continue

TRUE or FALSE, continuous numbering of plot

randomization

TRUE or FALSE - randomize

Details

kinds <- c("Wichmann-Hill", "Marsaglia-Multicarry", "Super-Duper", "Mersenne-Twister", "Knuth-TAOCP", "user-supplied", "Knuth-TAOCP-2002", "default" )
