Analysis of Covariance of Reinforced Balanced Incomplete Block Designs With a Single Explanatory Variable [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2014 Reinforced balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs) are very useful in statistical planning of experiments as they can be constructed for any number of treatments for given numbers of replications.

LDPC Codes on Balanced Incomplete Block Designs: Construction, Girth, and Cycle Structure Analysis [PDF]
EntropyIn this paper, we investigate the cycle structure inherent in the Tanner graphs of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes constructed from balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs).

Expurgated PPM Using Symmetric Balanced Incomplete Block Designs [PDF]
, 2012 In this letter, we propose a new pulse position modulation (PPM) scheme, called expurgated PPM (EPPM), for application in peak power limited communication systems, such as impulse radio (IR) ultra wide band (UWB) systems and free space optical (FSO ...

Balanced incomplete block designs: selected business-related applications and usage caveats [PDF]
Innovative Marketing, 2016 Whenever respondents must rank-order a large number of items and/or the reliability of their rankings may be questionable, balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs) represent a more effective means for doing so than either complete rankings or paired ...

On balanced incomplete block designs with specified weak chromatic number [PDF]
, 2013 A weak $c$-colouring of a balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) is a colouring of the points of the design with $c$ colours in such a way that no block of the design has all of its vertices receive the same colour.

Construction of Binary Locally Repairable Codes with Nonuniform Locality and Availability Using Combinatorial Designs [PDF]
EntropyIn this paper, we generalize the construction of locally repairable codes (LRCs) by leveraging pairwise balanced designs (PBDs) and balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs) to construct codes with nonuniform locality or nonuniform availability.

On Covering of Balanced Incomplete Block Designs [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 1964 Given a set E of v elements and given positive integers k (k ≤ v) and λ, we understand by balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) B [k, λ, v] a system of blocks (subsets of E) having k elements each such that every pair of elements of E is contained in exactly λ blocks.A necessary condition for the existence of a design B [k, λ, v] is known to be (4)

Partially Balanced Incomplete Block Designs [PDF]
, 1969 In balanced incomplete block designs, each pair of treatments is compared with equal precision, and each treatment is paired with every other treatment an equal number of times with in a common block; A is a constant for all treatments.
