## About the App

FielD·Hub is an R Shiny design of experiments (DOE) app created by the NDSU Big Data Pipeline team that aids in the creation of traditional and non-traditional augmented experiment designs, including spatial trials with checks assigned to plots in a diagonal arrangement across the field. Users of FielD·Hub are guided through an interactive DOE platform that generates randomizations of field, laboratory, and greenhouse experiments. Outputs from FielD·Hub include interactive field maps, tables, and field books that can be extracted and saved.
A novel feature of FielD·Hub is an option that generates simulated data for a response variable along with the randomization. This feature makes FielD·Hub suitable for classroom teaching purposes, where instructors can either use the graphical dynamic user interface and/or use the formulas included in the R package for teaching R scripting courses.

### Easy to Use

Users are guided in each step of the DOE platform in a reactive interface.

### Teaching

The app provides suitable features for classroom teaching purposes.

### Novel App
