Compute both the mean and the standard deviation of the Minimal Spanning Tree (MST)
mstCriteria(design, plot2d="FALSE")A list containing two components:
a list containing the MST: each component of it contains a vector with all vertices which are connected with the experiment corresponding to the number of the components
vector with both the mean and the standard deviation values of the lengthes of the edges
a matrix (or a data.frame) corresponding to the design of experiments.
an argument for visualizing the mst of a 2d design

In our context, a MST is a tree whose the sum of the lengthes of the edges is minimal. Even if unicity does not hold, the overall length is stable. The mean and the standard deviation of the lengthes of the edges are usually derived to analyze the geometric profile of the design. A large mean and a small standard deviation characterize a so-called quasi-periodic design.
