Package 'mkssd'

Efficient multi-level k-circulant supersaturated designs

Description

mkssd is a package that generates efficient balanced non-aliased multi-level k-circulant supersaturated designs by interchanging the elements of the generator vector. The package tries to generate a supersaturated design that has chisquare efficiency more than user specified efficiency level (mef). The package also displays the progress of generation of an efficient multi-level k-circulant design through a progress bar. The progress of 100 per cent means that one full round of interchange is completed. More than one full round (typically 4-5 rounds) of interchange may be required for larger designs.

Usage
