===================================================== ``pyDOE``: The experimental design package for python ===================================================== The ``pyDOE`` package is designed to help the **scientist, engineer, statistician,** etc., to construct appropriate **experimental designs**. Capabilities ============ The package currently includes functions for creating designs for any number of factors: - *Factorial Designs* #. **General Full-Factorial** (``fullfact``) #. **2-level Full-Factorial** (``ff2n``) #. **2-level Fractional Factorial** (``fracfact``) #. **Plackett-Burman** (``pbdesign``) - *Response-Surface Designs* #. **Box-Behnken** (``bbdesign``) #. **Central-Composite** (``ccdesign``) - *Randomized Designs* #. **Latin-Hypercube** (``lhs``) *See the* `package homepage`_ *for details on usage and other notes* What's New ========== In this release, an incorrect indexing variable in the internal LHS function ``_pdist`` has been corrected so point-distances are now calculated accurately. Requirements ============ - NumPy - SciPy Installation and download ========================= See the `package homepage`_ for helpful hints relating to downloading and installing pyDOE.
