Improved Conditions for the Robustness of Binary Block Designs Against the Loss of Whole Blocks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several authors have investigated conditions for a binary block design, D, to be maximally robust such that every eventual design obtained from D by eliminating r[υ] − 1 blocks, is connected, where r[υ] is the smallest treatment replication. Four new results for the maximal robustness of D with superior properties are given. An extension of these results to widen the assessment of robustness of the planned design is also presented.

A Link between the E-value and the Robustness of Block Designs
Robustness of binary incomplete block designs against giving rise to a disconnected design in the event of observation loss is investigated. A link is established between the E-value of a planned design and the extent of observation loss that can be experienced whilst still guaranteeing an eventual design from which all treatment contrasts can be estimated. Patterns of missing observations cove...
متن کاملRobustness of Nested Balanced Incomplete Block Designs Against Missing Data
Robustness aspects of nested balanced incomplete block designs against missing data have been investigated using connectedness and efficiency criteria. Sufficient condition for robustness of a design has been obtained for the loss of any m observations, using connectedness criterion. Designs robust against the loss of any m observations belonging to one sub-block, loss of any two observations b...
متن کاملRobustness of Diallel Cross Designs Against the Loss of Any Number of Observations ( Crosses ) in a Block
The robustness of universal optimal binary balanced block (BBB) designs for diallel crosses has been investigated for the loss of any t (~1) observations (crosses) in a single block as per connectedness and A-efficiency criteria. It is observed that all the BBB designs for diallel crosses with the minimum eigenvalue strictly greater than 2 are robust as per connectedness criterion. Further A-ef...
متن کاملNew Stilling Basins Designs for Deep Rectangular Outlets
The experimental study reported here is intended to evolve new designs of stilling basins for deep and narrow openings used as outlets. Several appurtenances such as grid, Impact wall, stepped wall, weir wall, sloping end sill and wedge shaped blocks are used to study their influence on the hydraulic performance of the stilling basins with an aim to propose efficient stilling basin models. All ...
متن کاملProposing an effective approach for Network security and multimedia documents classically using encryption and watermarking
Local binary pattern (LBP) operators, which measure the local contrast within a pixel's neighborhood, successfully applied to texture analysis, visual inspection, and image retrieval. In this paper, we recommend a semi blind and informed watermarking approach. The watermark has been built from the original image using Weber Law. The approach aims is to present a high robustness and imperceptibi...
