  <dc:title>'EDGAR': Experimental Design Generator and Randomiser</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package ExperimentalDesignGeneratorandRandomiser version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>
    Native R implementation of 'EDGAR', the Experimental Design Generator
    and Randomiser. 'EDGAR' was originally developed as a suite of 'Excel'
    &lt;https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/excel&gt; workbooks by the
    Biometrics team at Rothamsted Research
    &lt;http://www.edgarweb.org.uk/&gt;. The algorithms were subsequently
    re-implemented in the open-source 'Python' &lt;https://www.python.org/&gt;
    project 'rotsl/edgar' &lt;https://rotsl.github.io/edgar/&gt;, distributed as
    the 'edgar-design' package on 'PyPI'
    &lt;https://pypi.org/project/edgar-design/&gt;. This R package is a native R
    port of that 'Python' implementation: it does not require 'Python',
    'reticulate' &lt;https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=reticulate&gt;, or any
    external service at runtime, and provides deterministic, reproducible
    randomisation for nine experimental designs including alpha designs
    (Patterson and Williams, 1976) &lt;doi:10.1093/biomet/63.1.83&gt;.
    Cross-language reproducibility with the 'Python' implementation is
    achieved by porting the Mersenne Twister seeding implementation from
    'CPython' &lt;https://github.com/python/cpython&gt; and the Fisher-Yates
    shuffle to native R.</dc:description>
