Abstract

KEYFINDER is a comprehensive, menu-driven, Prolog program for generating, randomizing and tabulating factorial designs in general situations. Its particular forte is the use of search procedures to generate fractional-replicate and blocked designs meeting the user’s detailed a priori specifications vis-a-vis design dimensions and aliasing/confounding properties. This paper gives a broad overview of the system and its facilities.
