FielDHub is an R Shiny design of experiments (DOE) app that aids in the creation of traditional, unreplicated, augmented and partially replicated (p-rep) designs applied to agriculture, plant breeding, forestry, animal and biological sciences.
Sometimes in a p-rep design, the number of field plots is prime. In this case, it is impossible to factorize this number to offer users a set of field dimensions (Rows, Columns). One option to overcome this issue is allowing a few Filler plots that enable the user to make the randomization.
The tricky part of implementing this is the optimization process behind the p-rep design.
