fdo

an object of class facDesign

blocks

number of blocks

BoR

blocking on replicates (TRUE/FALSE)

Examples

#create a 2^3 full factorial design
fdo = facDesign(k = 3)

#make it a design with 2 blocks
blocking(fdo, 2)

#create a response surface design for 3 factors
fdo = rsmDesign(k = 3)

#make it a design with 3 blocks (i.e. 1 block for star part and 2 blocks for the cube part)
blocking(fdo, 3)
