Optimal Incomplete Block Designs
نویسنده
چکیده
Optimal incomplete block designs are pursued through the E-criterion of minimizing maximal variance. Methodology is developed for design choice based on graphs and an extensive catalog of downloadable designs compiled. Along with the general methodology, a near complete solution for E-optimal block designs is provided for up to 15 treatments. E-optimality is revealed as a flexible criterion that, depending on the application, can offer many choices for good designs.

On the Type-1 Optimality of Nearly Balanced Incomplete Block Designs with Small Concurrence Range
The class of nearly balanced incomplete block designs with concurrence range l, or NBBD(l), is defined. This extends previous notions of “most balanced” designs to cover settings where off-diagonal entries of the concurrence matrix must differ by a positive integer l ≥ 2. Sufficient conditions are found for optimality of NBBD(2)’s under type-1 criteria, then used to establish Aand D-optimality ...
متن کاملOPTIMAL BLOCK DESIGNS WITH UNEQUAL BLOCK SIZES FOR MAKING TEST TREATMENTS-CONTROL COMPARISONS UNDER A HETEROSCEDASTIC MODEL∗ By RAJENDER PARSAD and V.K. GUPTA
This article obtains some sufficient conditions to establish the A-optimality of block designs with unequal block sizes for making test treatments control comparisons under a suitable heteroscedastic model. Balanced test treatments incomplete block designs with unequal block sizes of type G are defined. Some general methods of constructing these designs are given and their A-efficiencies are in...
متن کاملIncomplete Block Designs for Multiple Asymmetric Parallel Line Assays
A method of construction of A-optimal binary block designs for multiple asymmetrical parallel line assays has been proposed. Illustration of the method with examples has been provided. By this method two series of designs are obtained. The first series of designs have equal replication of treatments with unequal block sizes. The second series of designs have equal block sizes with unequal repli...
متن کاملA-efficient balanced treatment incomplete block designs
The purpose of this paper is to present a large number of highly A-efficient incomplete block designs for making comparisons among a set of test treatments and a control treatment. These designs are BTIB designs. A simple method of construction of BTIB designs, based on BIB designs is proposed. The advantage of this method is that one can use the vast literature on BIB designs to obtain a large...
متن کاملOptimal resolvable designs with minimum PV aberration
Amongst resolvable incomplete block designs, affine resolvable designs are optimal in many conventional senses. However, different affine resolvable designs for the same numbers of treatments, replicates, and block size can differ in how well they estimate elementary treatment contrasts. An aberration criterion is employed to distinguish the best of the affine resolvable designs for this task. ...
