minimalRSD {minimalRSD}

minimalRSD: A package for constructing CCD and BBD with minimum level changes in the run sequence

Description

The minimalRSD package can be used to construct Central Composite Designs (CCD) with full as well as fractional factorial points(half replicate) and Box Behnken designs (BBD) with minimum number of changes in the levels of input factors. These designs help in providing reducing cost-effective Response Surface Designs (RSDs). This package provides three categories of important functions: min-bbd, min_ccd and min_ccd_2.

Details

The package minimalRSD is an implementation of the concepts and theory discussed by Varghese et al. (2017). For detailed information and concepts users are advised to see the following reference.

minimalRSD functions

min_bbd: Generate minimally changed BBD for a given number of input factors.
min_ccd: Generate minimally changed CCD for a given number of input factors.
min_ccd_2: Generate minimally changed CCD with fractinalfactorial points (half replicate) for a given number of factors.
