Construct a design for a vectorized RSA model — vector_rsa

This function constructs a design for an RSA model using a single distance matrix, labels, and blocks.

Usage

vector_rsa_design(D, labels, block_var)

Arguments

D: A representational dissimilarity matrix with row.names indicating labels.
labels: character vector of labels corresponding to rows in another dataset X.
block_var: vector indicating the block (strata) each label belongs to.

Value

A list containing the elements of the RSA design, class attributes "vector_rsa_design" and "list".

Details

The function verifies that all labels in the 'labels' are present in the row.names of 'D'. It also sets up for precomputing cross-block pairs if needed.
