D-optimal cyclic two-dimensional block designs.

Jagdish N. Srivastava, A. M. Wijetunga (1983)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a class of incomplete block designs in which every block is two dimensional. Thus heterogeneity is removed not only between blocks, but also in two directions within each block. Such designs have been considered before in Srivastava (1977,1978). Here, we consider the class of cyclic designs of this type when the number of treatments ν is an odd number between 5 and 25, and present designs that are D-optimal within this class.

A note on the relations between two ternary balanced block designs and chemical balance weighing designs

Katarzyna Ambroży, Bronisław Ceranka (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The paper studied the problem of estimating of the weights of p objects in n weighings using a chemical balance weighing design under the restriction on the number of objects which can be placed on the right and left pans, respectively. Conditions under which the estimated weights are uncorrelated are given. The incidence matrices of two ternary balanced block designs which are used to construct chemical balance weighing designs satisfying these conditions are considered.

A unified terminology in block designs

Tadeusz Caliński, Sanpei Kageyama (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

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"...

New Symmetric (61,16,4) Designs Invariant Under the Dihedral Group of Order 10

Landjev, Ivan, Topalova, Svetlana (1998)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

∗ This work has been partially supported by the Bulgarian NSF under Contract No. I-506/1995. In this note we construct five new symmetric 2-(61,16,4) designs invariant under the dihedral group of order 10. As a by-product we obtain 25 new residual 2-(45,12,4) designs. The automorphism groups of all new designs are computed.

On a characterization of symmetric balanced incomplete block designs

R.N. Mohan, Sanpei Kageyama, M.M. Nair (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

All the symmetric balanced incomplete block (SBIB) designs have been characterized and a new generalized expression on parameters of SBIB designs has been obtained. The parameter b has been formulated in a different way which is denoted by bi, i = 1, 2, 3, associating with the types of the SBIB design Di. The parameters of all the designs obtained through this representation have been tabulated while corresponding them with the suitable formulae for the number ofblocks bi and the expression...

Optimum chemical balance weighing designs under the restriction on weighings

Bronisław Ceranka, Małgorzata Graczyk (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The paper deals with the problem of estimating individual weights of objects, using a chemical balance weighing design under the restriction on the number in which each object is weighed. A lower bound for the variance of each of the estimated weights from this chemical balance weighing design is obtained and a necessary and sufficient condition for this lower bound to be attained is given. The incidence matrix of ternary balanced block design is used to construct optimum chemical balance...

Evaluation of experimental designs in durum wheat trials

Anastasios Katsileros, Christos Koukouvinos (2015)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

Variability among experimental plots may be a relevant problem in field genotype experiments, especially when a large number of entries are involved. Four field trials on 24 durum wheat genotypes were conducted in 2013/14 in order to evaluate the efficiency of Incomplete Block, Alpha and Augmented designs in comparison with the traditional Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The results showed that the RCBD can be replaced by an Alpha design, which provides better control of variability...

Some constructions of nested balanced equireplicate block designs

Shivani Rai, Shakti Banerjee, Sanpei Kageyama (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

arious methods of constructing nested ternary and quaternary efficiency balanced and variance balanced designs are proposed by applying some repetitions of treatments in all possible pairs of treatments. In these designs sub-blocks and super-blocks may form different p-ary designs, where sub-blocks have higher efficiency as compared to super-blocks, i.e., any two elementary treatment contrasts in the sub-blocks can be measured with higher efficiency than any two elementary contrasts...

X −1 -balance of some partially balanced experimental designs with particular emphasis on block and row-column designs

Ryszard Walkowiak (2015)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

This paper considers block designs and row-column designs where the information matrix C has two different nonzero eigenvalues, one of multiplicity 1 and the other of multiplicity h−1, where h is the rank of the matrix C. It was found that for each such design there exists a diagonal positive definite matrix X such that the design is X −1-balanced.

Incomplete split-block designs constructed by affine α-resolvable designs

Kazuhiro Ozawa, Shinji Kuriki, Stanisław Mejza (2017)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

We construct an incomplete split-block design (ISBD) by the semi- Kronecker product of two affine α-resolvable designs for row and column treatments. We characterize such ISBDs with respect to the general balance property and we give the stratum efficiency factors for the ISBDs.

Some observations on the constructions of chemical balance weighing designs

Ratnakaram Nava Mohan, Bronisław Ceranka, Sanpei Kageyama (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The construction of some optimum chemical balance weighing designs from affine μ-resolvable balanced incomplete block (BIB) designs are discussed in the light of a characterization theorem on the parameters of affine μ-resolvable BIB designs as given by Mohan and Kageyama (1982), for the sake of practical use of researchers who need some selective designs for the construction of chemical balance weighing designs.
