DEX CORE

DEX CORE (LET)

Let Subcommand

Determine the core vectors spanning the (n-1) space (or a large part of it) for effect estimation in the analysis of 2-level full and fractional factorial designs.

The "dex10stepanalysis.dp" macro can be used to analyze 2-level full or fractional factorial designs. A key step in the analysis of these designs is the estimation of the effects and the determination of the confounding structure. The "dex10stepanalysis.dp" macro calls the "compute_effect_estimates_and_confounding.dp" macro to perform the effect estimation. The DEX CORE command is a utility command used in the "compute_effect_estimates_and_confounding.dp" macro and is not typically used outside of this context.

Previous versions of the 10-step analysis macros contained a "core.dp" macro. The DEX CORE command emulates the computations of this macro.

The input to this command is the factor variables of the design matrix. The response variable is not needed. The output is a matrix containing five core factors.

LET <m> = DEX CORE <x1> ... <xk>
where <x1> ... <xk> is a list of 1 to k variable names;
            <m> is a matrix where the core factors will be saved;
and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.

LET CORE = DEX CORE X1 X2 X3
LET CORE = DEX CORE X1 X2 X3 X4 X5


LET STALL = STRING COMBINE X1 TO X8 LET CORE = DEX CORE ^STALL
