DEX CHECK CLASSIC

Name:
    DEX CHECK CLASSIC (LET)
Type:
    Let Subcommand
Purpose:
    Given a list of factor variables, check to see if they are in classic form for a 2-level full or fractional factorial design.
Description:
    For 2-level full or fractional factorial design, the low level is typically coded as "-1" and the upper level is typically coded as "+1". Center points are typically coded as "0". This command checks whether each of the listed factor variables contains only "-1", "+1" and "0" values.

    If the factor variables are in the original units rather than coded as -1 and +1, you can use the CODE DEX command to convert them to -1 and +1 values.

Syntax:
    LET <iflag> = DEX CHECK CLASSIC <name1> <name2> ... <namek>
    where <name1> <name2> ... <namek> is a list of 1 to k variable names;
    and <iflag> is a parameter where the status is saved.

    If all variable names contain only -1, +1, or 0, <iflag> will be set to 1. Otherwise <iflag> will be set to 0.

Examples:
    LET IFLAG = DEX CHECK CLASSIC X1 X2 X3
    LET IFLAG = DEX CHECK CLASSIC X1 X2 X3 X4 X5
Note:
    The TO syntax is not supported for this command. That is,

      LET IFLAG = DEX CHECK CLASSIC X1 TO X5
    should be coded as

      LET STALL = STRING COMBINE X1 TO X5 LET IFLAG = DEX CHECK CLASSIC ^STALL
Default:
    None
Synonyms:
    None
Related Commands:
    CODE DEX = Convert data to -1, 0, +1 codeing.
    CHECK TYPES = Check the types for a list of names.
    CHECK EQUAL LENGTH = Check whether a list of variables have the same number of elements.
Applications:
    Analysis of full and fractional factorial designs
Implementation Date:
    2018/02
Program:
     
    skip 25
    read scott_8_16.dat y x1 to x8
    let stall = string combine x1 to x^k
    let iflag = dex check classic ^stall
