Description: Description: Provides comprehensive tools for analysing and characterizing
    mixed-level factorial designs arranged in blocks. Includes construction
    and validation of incidence structures, computation of C-matrices,
    evaluation of A-, D-, E-, and MV-efficiencies, checking of orthogonal
    factorial structure (OFS), diagnostics based on Hamming distance,
    discrepancy measures, B-criterion, Es^2 statistics, J2-distance and
    J2-efficiency, Phi-p optimality, and symmetry conditions for universal
    optimality. The methodological framework follows foundational work on
    factorial and mixed-level design assessment by Xu and Wu (2001) 
    <doi:10.1214/aos/1013699993>, and Gupta (1983) 
    <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1983.tb01253.x>. These methods assist in selecting,
    comparing, and studying factorial block designs across a range of
    experimental situations.
