Overview

About

Maintained by Bijoy ChandaCRAN page ↗

In agricultural, post-harvest and processing, engineering and industrial experiments factors are often differentiated with ease with which they can change from experimental run to experimental run. This is due to the fact that one or more factors may be expensive or time consuming to change i.e. hard-to-change factors. These factors restrict the use of complete randomization as it may make the experiment expensive and time consuming. Split plot designs can be used for such situations. In general model estimation of split plot designs require the use of generalized least squares (GLS). However for some split-plot designs ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates are equivalent to generalized least squares (GLS) estimates. These types of designs are known in literature as equivalent-estimation split-plot design. For method details see, Macharia, H. and Goos, P.(2010) doi:10.1080/00224065.2010.11917833.Balanced split plot designs are designs which have an equal number of subplots within every whole plot. This package used to construct equivalent estimation balanced split plot designs for different experimental set ups along with different statistical criteria to measure the performance of these designs. It consist of the function equivalent_BSPD().

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("equiBSPD", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-equibspd

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-equiBSPD

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-equiBSPD

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
