Balanced incomplete block design: an alternative for data collection in the optimized descriptive profile

permutation approach for adjusted durbin rank test used in balanced incomplete block designs for tied data

durbin's rank test is widely used for testing treatment effects in balanced incomplete block designs (bibds)which have wide applications in sensory analysis. this test is failed for bibds when ties data occur. an adjusted version of durbin rank test for this kind of data is given to solve this problem. chi-square approximation, which is commonly used for this test, is not adequate for small bib...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Calculating Balanced Incomplete Block Design for Educational Assessments

A popular design in large scale' educational assessments is the balanced incomplete block design. The design assumes that the item pool is split into a set of blocks of items that are assigned to assessment booklets. This paper shows how the technique of 0-1 linear programming can be used to calculate a balanced incomplete block design. Several structural as well as practical constraints on thi...

Self-Dual Codes and the (22,8,4) Balanced Incomplete Block Design

We enumerate a list of 594 inequivalent binary (33, 16) doubly-even self-orthogonal codes that have no all-zero coordinates along with their automorphism groups. It is proven that if a (22, 8, 4) Balanced Incomplete Block Design were to exist then the 22 rows of its incident matrix will be contained in at least one of the 594 codes. Without using computers, we eliminate this possibility for 116...
