mixedfact: Generate and Analyze Mixed-Level Blocked Factorial Designs

Generates blocked designs for mixed-level factorial experiments for a given block size. Internally, it uses finite-field based, collapsed, and heuristic methods to construct block structures that minimize confounding between block effects and factorial effects. The package creates the full treatment combination table, partitions runs into blocks, and computes detailed confounding diagnostics for main effects and two-factor interactions. It also checks orthogonal factorial structure (OFS) and computes efficiencies of factorial effects using the methods of Nair and Rao (1948) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1948.tb00005.x>. When OFS is not satisfied but the design has equal treatment replications and equal block sizes, a general method based on the C-matrix and custom contrast vectors is used to compute efficiencies. The output includes the generated design, finite-field metadata, confounding summaries, OFS diagnostics, and efficiency results.
