On MSE-Optimal Circular Crossover Designs [PDF]
AbstractIn crossover designs, each subject receives a series of treatments, one after the other inpconsecutive periods. There is concern that the measurement of a subject at a given period might be influenced not only by the direct effect of the current treatment but also by a carryover effect of the treatment applied in the preceding period. Sometimes,
