FielD·Hub is an R Shiny design of experiments (DOE) app created by
the NDSU Plant Breeding Pipeline Data Management 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 interphase and/or use the formulas included in the R package for teaching R scripting courses.
Users are guided in each step of the DOE platform in a reactive interface.
The app provides suitable features for classroom teaching purposes.
FielDHub offers DOE and features not currently available in most apps.
