| aliases {FrF2} | R Documentation |
Function to provide a human-friendly format for the alias structure of a fractional factorial 2-level design
aliases(fit, code = FALSE)
fit |
a linear model object with only 2-level factors as x-variables; the function will return an error, if the model contains partially aliased effects (like interactions in a Plackett-Burman design for most cases) |
code |
if TRUE, requests that aliasing is given in code letters (A, B, C etc.) instead of (potentially lengthy) variable names; in this case, a legend is included in the output object. |
A list with two elements:
legend |
links the codes to variable names, if code=TRUE. |
aliases |
is a list of vectors of aliased effects. |
