intcbd: Generates initial connected block design

In Boptbd: Bayesian Optimal Block Designs

Description

The function intcbd generates a random initial connected block design for a given number of blocks b of size k = 2 and the number of treatments v.

Usage

intcbd(trt.N, blk.N)

Arguments

trt.N	integer, specifying number of treatments, v.
blk.N	integer, specifying number of arrays, b.

Value

Returns a 2 x b connected block design with b blocks of size k = 2 and number of treatments v.
