Balanced Incomplete Block Design for Given Parameters

Description

Generates a balanced incomplete block design with given number of treaments (v), number of blocks (b), number of replications (r), block size (k) and number of concurrences (lambda).

Usage

bibd(v,b,r,k,lambda,ntrial=5,pbar=FALSE)

Arguments

v

number of treatments

b

number of blocks

r

number of replications

k

block size

lambda

number of concurrences

ntrial

number of trials. Default value is 5.

pbar

logical value indicating whether progress bar will be displayed or not. Default is FALSE

Value

v

number of treatments

b

number of blocks

r

number of replications

k

block size

lambda

number of concurrences

design

block contents in a b by k matrix

N

treatments by blocks incidence matrix of the generated design

NNP

concurrence matrix of the generated design

Aeff

Lower bound to the A-efficiency of the generated design

Deff

Lower bound to the D-efficiency of the generated design

Note

The function works best for values of number of treatments (v) up to 30 and block size (k) up to 10. However, for block size (k) up to 3, much larger values of number of treatments (v) may be used.
