dcovary

D-optimal design with specified fixed covariates.

Syntax

Description

settings = dcovary(factors,covariates,'model') creates a D-optimal design subject to the constraint of fixed covariates for each run. factors is the number of experimental variables you want to control.

[settings,X] = dcovary(factors,covariates,'model') also creates the associated design matrix, X. The input, 'model', controls the order of the regression model. By default, dcovary assumes a linear additive model. Alternatively, 'model' can be any of these:

Example

Suppose we want to block an eight run experiment into 4 blocks of size 2 to fit a linear model on two factors.

The first two columns of the output matrix contain the settings for the two factors. The last three columns are dummy variable codings for the four blocks.
