		Tools for Experimental Design Sizing // Sizes field experiments
		from uniformity-trial data, following the relationship between
		the coefficient of variation and plot size. Checks a trial for
		the spatial structure the sizing methods assume (semivariogram,
		Moran's I, kriged field map), summarises the coefficient of
		variation over every plot shape the grid admits, and estimates
		the optimal plot size by the modified maximum curvature method
		of Meier and Lessman (1971), by the linear response plateau
		(LRP) and quadratic response plateau (QRP) models, and by the
		closed form of Paranaiba, Ferreira and Morais (2009), which can
		be compared side by side. From the coefficient of variation at
		the optimum it derives the number of replications needed to
		detect a given difference between treatment means, as in
		Cargnelutti Filho and others (2014). Every method returns
		standardised diagnostic statistics, optional bootstrap
		uncertainty for the breakpoint, and publication-style plots.
