fatld 0.1.5

Generate and characterize designs with four-and-two-level (FATL) factors

Four And Two Level Designs

The fatld package contains functionality to generate and characterize designs with four-and-two-level (FATL) factors. Design characteristics include word length pattern, defining relation, and number of clear interactions. For more information about the package see the documentation at https://abohyndoe.github.io/fatld/. A large collection of FATL designs can be explored interactively using a web app at https://abohyndoe.shinyapps.io/fatldesign-selection-tool/.

Usage

The package can be used from Python:

>>> import fatld
>>> D = fatld.Design(runsize=32, m=1, cols=[21, 27, 29])
>>> D.wlp()
[1, 3, 3, 0, 0]
>>> D.defining_relation()
['A1cef', 'A3deg', 'A1cdeh']
>>> print("There are %s 2-2 interactions totally clear from any main effect or other interaction." % D.clear('2-2', 'all'))
There are 6 2-2 interactions totally clear from any main effect or other interaction.
>>> print("The design contains %s four-level factors and %s two-level factors" % (D.m, D.n))
The design contains 1 four-level factors and 6 two-level factors

For more examples see the documentation.

Installation

The Python interface to the package is available on pypi. Installation can be done using the following command:

pip install fatld

Development

All development is done in a virtual environment based on poetry, activate it using:

poetry shell

Code style

• Try to follow the PEP 8 style guide. A usefull tool for automated formatting is black. We do allow lines upto 120 characters.

• Document functions using the Numpy docstring convention

• Linting is based on ruff, configuration is found in the pyproject.toml file.

• Tests are ran using pytest and a coverage report can be generated using coverage inside the virtual environment:

  coverage run -m pytest tests
  coverage report -m
