title: 'MFRCD: Optimal Row-Column Designs for Asymmetrical Factorial Experiments'
version: 0.1.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.MFRCD
abstract: Constructs and analyzes optimal row-column designs for mixed-level factorial
  experiments under square and rectangular field layouts. For square field layouts,
  the package implements direct common-factor constructions by first forming two component
  treatment arrays, one for each factor or super-factor, and then combining them through
  a symbolic cell-wise product following Gopinath, Parsad and Mandal (2018) <https://doi.org/10.1080/03610926.2017.1376091>.
  For rectangular field layouts, the package constructs designs by extracting a balanced
  principal block from a mixed-level block design, treating it as the principal column,
  taking the complete treatment set as the principal row, and generating the full
  row-column design by cyclic modular development. The package also includes repair
  utilities for improving disconnected or partially connected row-column designs through
  bounded treatment-swap searches while preserving the row-column layout structure.
  The package provides diagnostic tools for connectedness, orthogonal factorial structure,
  balance, estimability, and selected optimality criteria for row-column designs.
