NBB Design of Type 1 (NBBD 1)

Description

When v(>3) is a prime number (prime number is a number which is divisible by itself and by 1) then it will generate a class of neighbour balanced block designs. This class of design is generated using the method of constructing Type 3 designs of (Azais, 1993). It also gives the parameters of the design, information matrix for estimating the contrast pertaining to direct and neighbour effects (both left and right) of the treatments.

Usage

nbbd1(v)

Arguments

v	Number of treatments (a prime number)

Value

It generates neighbour balanced blocks designs for a given number of treatments (v>3), when v is prime number.
