> Yes, you're right. For, say, a 3 x 5 design, one can do this in as few as 7 runs -- but only in general by some version of one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) designs, which are inefficient. It is easy, via, say model.matrix() to write a general function to produce these. But I think it's a bad idea; more efiicient algorithmic designs are better, IMO, which is why I suggested AlgDesign. You and others are free to disagree, of course.
Hi Bert, thanks for your suggestion. However, let us say that i need a 2x2x2x3x3x3 design, which should not be too hard. I've loaded AlgDesign, and i am aware now that gen.factorial allows me to create a full desing. But how to create a main-effects-only factorial design (orthogonal)? I am still not able to produce what i need. The function model.matrix.formula is not very clear... :( Could you please indicate which syntax should i use? I'd really appreciate your help.
