  <dc:title>R package Boptbd version 1.0.7</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: CausalInference (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=CausalInference)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Computes Bayesian A- and D-optimal block designs under the linear mixed effects model settings using block/array exchange algorithm of Debusho, Gemechu and Haines (2018) &lt;doi:10.1080/03610918.2018.1429617&gt; and Gemechu, Debusho and Haines (2025) &lt;doi:10.5539/ijsp.v14n1p50&gt; where the interest is in a 
	comparison of all possible elementary treatment contrasts. The package also provides an optional 
	method of using the graphical user interface (GUI) R package 'tcltk' to ensure that it is user friendly.</dc:description>
