We do so by using the following command which returns a data frame containing the available designs. Here we run the function with a vector that contains numbers 1 to 60: ```{r} generate(1:60) ``` ## Example: Analysis of Experimental Data. After obtaining the necessary design information from the function generate(), the user inputs the number of entries, the k parameter, the number of rows, the number of plants per row and the planting distance into the function HSD(). ## Honeycomb Selection Design ### Initialization We initialize the honeycomb selection design using the HSD command. Here: * 7 corresponds to the number of entries * 2 is the value of k parameter * 10 is the number of rows * 10 is the number of plants per row * 1 is the interplant distance in meters ```{r} main_data<-HSD(7,2,10,10,1) head(main_data,25) #Use the head function to get the top 25 rows. ``` ### Ring Analysis After this step, we pass the response variable to the "Data" column of the data frame generated by one of the functions HSD, HSD0, HSD01 or HSD03. ```{r} main_data$Data<-wheat_data$main_spike_weight result<-analysis(main_data,"Data",6) head(result[[1]],10) #Use the head function to get the top 10 rows. result[[2]] ``` ### Blocks Analysis By using the arguments blocks=TRUE in the analysis function, the data is being analyzed using complete moving replicate. If we also use the arguments “row_element” and “plant_element”, the plants included in the specific block are displayed. ```{r} result<-analysis(main_data,"Data",blocks=TRUE,row_element=5,plant_element=5) head(result[[1]],10) #Use the head function to get the top 10 rows. result[[2]] ``` ## Honeycomb Selection Design with one entry ### Initialization Since there is no control entry in HSD0 design, we must only provide number of rows, number of plants and interplant distance to the function. Here: * 10 is the number of rows * 10 is the number of plants per row * 1 is the interplant distance in meters ```{r} main_data<-HSD0(10,10,1) main_data$Data<-wheat_data$main_spike_weight head(main_data,10) #Use the head function to get the top 10 rows. ``` For the HSD01 design we must also add the value of K as first argument in the function: ```{r} main_data<-HSD01(7,10,10,1) main_data$Data<-wheat_data$main_spike_weight head(main_data,10) #Use the head function to get the top 10 rows. ``` ### Analysis The analysis function returns only one data frame. ```{r} result<-analysis(main_data,"Data") head(result[[1]],10) #Use the head function to get the top 10 rows. ```
