SCCDdesign (Q7370228)

Constructs screening designs for experiments involving continuous and categorical factors with multiple levels. The package implements methods for constructing mixed-level screening designs, involving factors with more than two levels. It also evaluates the statistical performance of screening designs throughdev power to identify active effects and Type I error rates. The package implements three methods proposed by Jones, B., Lekivetz, R., Majumdar, D. and Nachtsheim, C. (2025) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2024.2362149> for generating efficient screening designs involving three-level continuous and two-level categorical factors for even run sizes. It also includes Paley Type I and Type II constructions for conference matrices and pseudo conference matrices obtained using the coordinate exchange algorithm by Jones, B. and Nachtsheim, C. J. (2011) <doi:10.1080/00224065.2011.11917841> which are used in the development of these screening designs.
