Optimum chemical balance weighing designs under the restriction on weighings
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 weighing...
