Description

A graeco - latin square is a KxK pattern that permits the study of k treatments simultaneously with three different blocking variables, each at k levels. The function is only for squares of the odd numbers and even numbers (4, 8 and 12)

Usage

design.graeco(trt1, trt2, number = 1, seed = 0, kinds = "Super-Duper")

Arguments

trt1

Treatments

trt2

Treatments

number

number of first plot

seed

seed

kinds

Value

• trt1
  vector, name of the treatments
• trt2
  vector, name of the treatments
• number
  Numeric
• seed
