  <dc:title>Generation of Blocked Fractional Factorial Designs (Two-Level
and Three-Level)</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package blockedFF version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides computational tools to generate efficient blocked and unblocked
    fractional factorial designs for two-level and three-level factors using the
    generalized Minimum Aberration (MA) criterion and related optimization algorithms.
    Methodological foundations include the general theory of minimum aberration as
    described by Cheng and Tang (2005) &lt;doi:10.1214/009053604000001228&gt;, and the 
    catalogue of three-level regular fractional factorial designs developed by Xu 
    (2005) &lt;doi:10.1007/s00184-005-0408-x&gt;. The main functions dol2() and dol3() generate
    blocked two-level and three-level fractional factorial designs, respectively, using
    beam search, optimization-based ranking, confounding assessment, and structured 
    output suitable for complete factorial situations.</dc:description>
