Some applications of weighing designs

Małgorzata Graczyk (2013)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

The purpose of this paper is to apply results on weighing designs to the setting of 2m factorial designs. Using weighing designs, we give some proposals for experimental plans. Relevant counterexamples are indicated. Also the results of a simulation study on the existence of weighing designs are presented.

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...

On a New Approach to the Analysis of Variance for Experiments with Orthogonal Block Structure.

Tadeusz Calinski, Idzi Siatkowski (2017)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

Summary The main estimation and hypothesis testing results are presented for experiments conducted in proper block designs. It is shown that, under appropriate randomization, these experiments have the convenient orthogonal block structure. Because of this, the analysis of experimental data can be performed in a comparatively simple way. Certain simplifying procedures are introduced. The main advantage of the presented methodology concerns the analysis of variance and related hypothesis...

The comparison of three models applied to the analysis of a three-factor trial on hybrid maize (Zea maysL.) cultivars

Piotr Szulc, Iwona Mejza, Katarzyna Ambroży-Deręgowska, Kamila Nowosad, Jan Bocianowski (2016)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to present the comparison of three models applied to the analysis of a one-year study of protein yield for two types of hybrid maize cultivars under different forms of nitrogen fertilizer and doses of magnesium. The field trial was conducted in 2010 at the Agricultural Experimental Station in Swadzim (Poland). The results obtained were analyzed in terms of three randomization-derived models of observations. Consideration was given to three mixed systems, which...

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...

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"...

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.

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...

Optimal chemical balance weighing designs for v + 1 objects

Bronisław Ceranka, Małgorzata Graczyk (2003)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The paper studies the estimation problem of individual weights of objects using a chemical balance weighing design under the restriction on the number times in which each object is weighed. Conditions under which the existence of an optimum chemical balance weighing design for p = v objects implies the existence of an optimum chemical balance weighing design for p = v + 1 objects are given. The existence of an optimum chemical balance weighing design for p = v + 1 objects implies the existence of an optimum...

A note on the D-optimality and D-efficiency of nonorthogonal blocked main effects plans

Łukasz Smaga (2016)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

This paper considers main effects plans used to study m two-level factors using n runs which are partitioned into b blocks of equal size k = n/b. The assumptions are adopted that n ≡ 2 (mod 8) and k > 2 is even. Certain designs not having all main effects orthogonal to blocks were shown by Jacroux (2011a) to be D-optimal when (m − 2)(k − 2) + 2 ⩽ n ⩽ (m − 1)(k − 2) + 2. Here, we extend that result. For (m − 3)(k − 2) + 2 ⩽ n < (m − 2)(k − 2) + 2, the D-optimality of those designs...

Optimum chemical balance weighing designs with diagonal variance-covariance matrix of errors

Bronisław Ceranka, Małgorzata Graczyk (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this paper we study the estimation problem of individual measurements (weights) of objects in a model of chemical balance weighing design with diagonal variance - covariance matrix of errors under the restriction k₁ + k₂ < p, where k₁ and k₂ represent the number of objects placed on the right and left pans, respectively. We want all variances of estimated measurments to be equal and attaining their lower bound. We give a necessary and sufficient condition under which this lower...

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.

Adaptive biased-coin designs for clinical trials with several treatments

Anthony C. Atkinson (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Adaptive designs are used in phase III clinical trials for skewing the allocation pattern towards the better treatments. We use optimum design theory to provide a skewed biased-coin procedure for sequential designs with continuous responses. The skewed designs are used to provide adaptive designs, the performance of which is studied numerically for designs with three treatments. Important properties are loss and the proportion of allocation to inferior treatments. Regularisation to provide...
