Block Design, Incidence, and Concurrence Matrix (2018)

Block Design Properties The necessary conditions that the parameters of a Balanced Incomplete Block Design (BIB design) must satisfy are A design say $d$ with parameters $(v, b, r, k, \lambda)$ can be represented as a $v \times b$ treatment block incidence matrix (having $v$ rows and $b$ columns). Let …

Latin Square Designs (LSD) Definition and Introduction

In Latin Square Designs the treatments are grouped into replicates in two different ways, such that each row and each column is a complete block, and the grouping for balanced arrangement is performed by restricting that each of the treatments must appear once and only once in each of the …

Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD)

The Randomized Complete Block Design may be defined as the design in which the experimental material is divided into blocks/groups of homogeneous experimental units (experimental units have same characteristics) and each block/group contains a complete set of treatments which are assigned at random to the experimental units. In Randomized Complete …

Completely Randomized Design (CRD)

The simplest and non-restricted experimental design, in which the occurrence of each treatment has an equal number of chances, each treatment can be accommodated in the plan, and the replication of each treatment is unequal is known to be a completely randomized design (CRD). In this regard, this design is …
