A UNIFIED TERMINOLOGY IN BLOCK DESIGNS An Informative Classification

چکیده
Partially efficiency balanced (PEB) designs with m efficiency classes have been defined by Puri and Nigam [15] as block designs which have simple analysis and, if properly used, allow the important contrasts to be estimated with desired efficiency. Such designs can be made available in varying replications and/or unequal block sizes. However, any block design is a PEB design with m efficiency classes for some m < v, where v is the number of treatments in the design. So the term “PEB” itself is not much informative in a statistical sense. More information may be added to this term. In this paper, a unified terminology is suggested, aimed at giving more statistical meaning to the PEB designs, which may or may not be connected. The paper is essentially based on our recent books “BLOCK DESIGNS: A Randomization Approach”, Springer Lecture Notes in Statistics, Vol. 150 (2000), Vol. 170 (2003), with some new additions.

The aim of this study is to address a new feature extraction method in the area of the heart arrhythmia classification based on a metric with simple mathematical calculation called Curve-Length Method (CLM). In the presented method, curve length of the under study excerpted segment of signal is considered as an informative feature in which the effect of important geometric parameters of the ori...
متن کاملNote on the parameters of balanced designs
In discussing block designs we use the usual notations and terminology of the combinatorialliterature (see, for example, [1], [2]) "balance" will always mean pairwise balance and blocks do not contain repeated elements. It is well-known that a balanced design need not have constant block-size or constant replication number. However, it is easy to show ([2, p.22J). that in any balanced design wi...
متن کاملOptimal Two-Level Regular Fractional Factorial Block and Split-Plot Designs
SUMMARY We propose a general and unified approach to the selection of regular fractional factorial designs which can be applied to experiments that are unblocked, blocked, with random or fixed block effects, or have a split-plot structure. Our criterion is derived as a good surrogate for the model-robustness criterion of information capacity. In the case of random block effects, it takes the ra...
متن کاملMultistratum Fractional Factorial Designs
Recent work on multistratum fractional factorial designs is set in a general and unified framework, and a criterion for selecting multistratum fractional factorial designs that takes stratum variances into account is proposed. Application of the general theory is illustrated on designs of experiments with multiple processing stages, including split-lot designs, blocked strip-plot designs, and p...

Multilevel designs are used by researchers in many areas (Raudenbush and Bryk (2002) and Milliken and Johnson (1992)) and those researchers have used different terminologies to describe the designs. Multilevel designs are designs that involve more than one size of experimental unit, thus the name, multilevel. Split-plot designs are multilevel designs and have been used by physical and biologica...
