title: 'FactChar: Characterization and Diagnostic Tools for Factorial Block Designs'
version: '1.0'
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.FactChar
abstract: 'Description: Provides comprehensive tools for analysing and characterizing
  mixed-level factorial designs arranged in blocks. Includes construction and validation
  of incidence structures, computation of C-matrices, evaluation of A-, D-, E-, and
  MV-efficiencies, checking of orthogonal factorial structure (OFS), diagnostics based
  on Hamming distance, discrepancy measures, B-criterion, Es^2 statistics, J2-distance
  and J2-efficiency, Phi-p optimality, and symmetry conditions for universal optimality.
  The methodological framework follows foundational work on factorial and mixed-level
  design assessment by Xu and Wu (2001) <https://doi.org/10.1214/aos/1013699993>,
  and Gupta (1983) <https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2517-6161.1983.tb01253.x>. These methods
  assist in selecting, comparing, and studying factorial block designs across a range
  of experimental situations.'
