Optimality of neighbor-balanced designs for total effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to study optimality of circular neighborbalanced block designs when neighbor effects are present in the model. In the literature many optimality results are established for direct effects and neighbor effects separately, but few for total effects, that is, the sum of direct effect of treatment and relevant neighbor effects. We show that circular neighbor-balanced designs are universally optimal for total effects among designs with no self neighbor. Then we give efficiency factors of these designs, and show some situations where a design with self neighbors is preferable to a neighbor-balanced design.

Some properties of information matrices of complete designs under an interference model
We consider an experiment with fixed number of blocks, in which a response to a treatment can be affected by treatments from neighboring units. For such experiment the interference model with neighbor effects can be used. Under this model we study some properties of information matrices of complete block designs, according to connectedness and optimality of designs. Assuming the circular interf...
متن کاملReview of One Dimensional Neighbor Balanced Designs Since 1967
Rees (1967) introduced neighbor designs in serology. Since then it is well investigated field. Neighbor balanced designs are more useful to remove the neighbor effects in experiments where the performance of a treatment is affected by the treatments applied to its neighboring plots. Neighbor designs ensure that treatment comparisons will be less affected by neighbor effects as possible. This pa...
متن کاملAn Algorithm to Generate Neighbor Balanced Binary Block Designs
Ahmed and Akhtar (2007) developed some algorithms to generate neighbor balanced designs. Here, a new algorithm is developed to generate circular neighbor balanced binary block designs for v = 2k in 2(v-1) blocks when blocks are well separated. A catalogue of circular neighbor balanced binary block designs for v up to 50 is presented.
متن کاملOn 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 کاملE-optimal Semi-regular Graph Designs and Partially Efficiency Balanced Designs
Jacroux (1985) extended the definition of Regular graph designs of Mitchell and John (1976) to Semi-regular graph (SRG) designs, and studied the type 1 optimality of block designs. Here, the construction and optimality of some more SRG designs are discussed. Moreover, in this investigation, it is established that a class of two associate partially efficiency balanced design is, in fact SRG desi...
