Arguments

n

a (possibly named) vector of sample sizes for each group

type

character string defining the type of constraints; one of "monotone", "control","average","laverage","uaverage", or "caverage"

base

column of the constraint matrix representing a control group (when type = "control")

Value

a constraint matrix
