title: 'mixedfact: Generate and Analyze Mixed-Level Blocked Factorial Designs'
version: 0.1.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.mixedfact
abstract: Generates blocked designs for mixed-level factorial experiments for a given
  block size. Internally, it uses finite-field based, collapsed, and heuristic methods
  to construct block structures that minimize confounding between block effects and
  factorial effects. The package creates the full treatment combination table, partitions
  runs into blocks, and computes detailed confounding diagnostics for main effects
  and two-factor interactions. It also checks orthogonal factorial structure (OFS)
  and computes efficiencies of factorial effects using the methods of Nair and Rao
  (1948) <https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2517-6161.1948.tb00005.x>. When OFS is not satisfied
  but the design has equal treatment replications and equal block sizes, a general
  method based on the C-matrix and custom contrast vectors is used to compute efficiencies.
  The output includes the generated design, finite-field metadata, confounding summaries,
  OFS diagnostics, and efficiency results.
