Convert to an rsm.design

DESCRIPTION:
Converts each column of a data.frame to an rsm.factor, resulting in an rsm.design object, an object suitable for fitting a response surface.

USAGE:
as.rsm.design(x, rsm.factors=seq(length(x)), logx = F)

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:
x:
a data.frame, or something that can be converted to a data.frame by as.data.frame.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:
rsm.factors:
a subscripting expression for the data.frame x that designates the vbariables that are to be converted to rsm.factors. Other variables are returned unchanged.
logx:
single logical value or vector of logical values for whether each rsm.factor is evenly spaced on the log scale.

VALUE:
an rsm.design object.

DETAILS:
The functions rsm.lm and plot.rsm.design rely on the data having attributes of the class rsm.design. When the experiment is read from an external file, via read.table for instance, a user can use as.rsm.design to interface easily to the response surface fitting functions of the S+DOX module.

If you wish to convert a fac.design object to an rsm.design, see the function convert.to.rsm.

EXAMPLES:
