Usage:
aliases2(basis [,effect:vec] [,length:j]), REAL matrix basis of alias
generators, REAL vector vec of 0's and 1's, positive integer j
|
Keywords:
aliasing, design, factorial
aliases2(basis) finds all aliases of I in a 2^(k-p) fractional factorial
and returns a CHARACTER vector of these aliases as its value. k must be
no larger than 25, and factors are labeled A, B, C, ..., H, J, ... Z
(skipping I).
The p x k matrix basis contains the generators for the aliasing, one row
for each generator and one column for each factor in the design. The
elements in basis are 0, -1, or 1. A nonzero entry indicates that a
factor is present in the generator for that row. The sign of a generator
is the product of the signs of the nonzero elements of the generator.
For example, 1 0 1 0 0 -1 means -ACF is a generator (alias of I).
If basis is a (column) vector, it is changed to a row vector (1 by k
matrix) before proceding.
aliases2(basis,effect:vec) returns the aliases of vec, a vector of k 0s
and 1s that specifies an effect.
aliases2(basis [,effect:vec],length:j) does the same but returns only
aliases of length j.
Examples:
Cmd> print(format:"2.0f",b) # Matrix b is 2x5, so 2^(5-2) design
b:
(1,1) 1 1 1 0 0 [ABC is a generator]
(2,1) 0 0 1 1 -1 [-CDE is a generator]
Cmd> aliases2(b) # aliases of I
(1) "I"
(2) "ABC"
(3) "-CDE"
(4) "-ABDE"
Cmd> aliases2(b,length:3) # length 3 aliases of I
(1) "I"
(2) "ABC"
(3) "-CDE"
Cmd> aliases2(b,effect:vector(1,1,0,0,0)) # aliases of AB
(1) "AB"
(2) "C"
(3) "-ABCDE"
(4) "-DE"
