design.rcbd: Randomized Complete Block Design

Description

It generates Randomized Complete Block Design. "Random" uses the methods of number generation in R. The seed is by set.seed(seed, kinds).

Usage

design.rcbd(trt, r, number = 1, seed = 0, kinds = "Super-Duper")

Arguments

trt

Treatments

r

Replications or blocks

number

number of first plot

seed

seed

kinds

method for to randomize

Value

• trt
  vector, name of the treatments
• r
  vector, numeric
• number
  Numeric
• seed
  Numeric

Details

kinds <- c("Wichmann-Hill", "Marsaglia-Multicarry", "Super-Duper", "Mersenne-Twister", "Knuth-TAOCP", "user-supplied", "Knuth-TAOCP-2002", "default" )
