GraecoLatin: Graeco-Latin squares

Description

Constructs mutually orthogonal Graeco-Latin squares for the following N:

i) any odd valued N

ii) any prime-power N = p**q where p and q can be chosen from

prime p	maximum q	2	13	3	8	5	6
7	5	11	4	13 17 19 23	3	29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97	2

iii) any even valued N <= 30 except for 6 or 2

Usage

GraecoLatin(N)

Arguments

N

any suitable integer N

Value

Data frame of factor levels for rows, columns and treatment sets

Details

Plans are given for pairs of MOLS classified by rows and columns. The output is a single data frame of size \(p**q x (r+2)\) for the required set of MOLS with a column for the rows classification, a column for the columns classification and a column for each treatment set from the required set of MOLS.

Also see the function MOLS which will generate complete sets of MOLS for prime-power design sizes.
