On the block structure of PBIB designs

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1980
Let {θ,θ1,…,θn1} denote the set having any treatment θ and its n1 first associates in a PBIB design with m(≥2) associate classes. A theorem on distribution of the elements of this set among the blocks of the block design is proved and results related to ...

Balanced incomplete block designs: selected business-related applications and usage caveats [PDF]

open access: yesInnovative 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 ...

Optimal Designs for Proportional Interference Models with Different Guarding Strategies

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
Interference models are commonly used in agriculture, industry, and other related fields. Optimal designs for these models are important topics in block designs.

On the Classification of Splitting (v, u×c, λ) BIBDs

open access: yesCybernetics and Information Technologies, 2018
The (v, u×c, λ)-splitting balanced incomplete block designs correspond to c-splitting authentication codes. We classify splitting balanced incomplete block designs with definite parameters.

Block-Transitive Designs in Affine Spaces

open access: yes, 2009
This paper deals with block-transitive $t$-$(v,k,\lambda)$ designs in affine spaces for large $t$, with a focus on the important index $\lambda=1$ case.

Recommendable block sizes: a case study on Finnish official variety trials of barley cultivars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Well-established results in the current statistical literature imply that plant breeders should use incomplete block designs wherever spatial variability exists and the number of treatments is large.

Cyclic Block Designs With Block Size 3

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Combinatorics, 1981
We prove that the necessary conditions for the existence of cyclic block designs with block size 3 are sufficient with two exceptions.

On block designs with repeated blocks

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics, 1992
This paper is concerned with balanced incomplete block designs in which repeated blocks are allowed. If \({\mathcal D}\) is such a \((v,k,\lambda)\)- design (using the standard notation), let \(b^*\) denote the number of distinct blocks. Let \(BIBD(v,k,\lambda| b^*)\) denote the family of all such designs \({\mathcal D}\). Fixing the number of points \(

Blocking Sets in Designs with Block Size 4

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Combinatorics, 1990
Constructions are given which produce block designs with \(\lambda=1\) or 2 and \(k=4\) admitting a blocking set. The construction includes all admissible orders \(n\) with \(\lambda=1,2\) and \(k=4\) except 8 cases. There are four separate constructions, one for \(\lambda=1\) and \(n\equiv1\) mod 12, one for \(\lambda=1\) and \(n\equiv 4\) mod 12, one

Optimal orthogonal block designs for three-component symmetric general blending models in mixture experiment

open access: yesStatistical Theory and Related Fields
In mixture experiments, the observed response is determined by the relative proportions of the components, consequently rendering the experimental region a simplex.
