Incomplete block design for given v,b and k and optionally, with a specified concurrence matrix

Description

This function generates an efficient incomplete block design with given number of treaments(v), number of blocks(b) and block size(k) and optionally with a specified concurrence matrix(NNP).

Usage

ibd(v,b,k,NNPo,ntrial,pbar=FALSE)

Arguments

v

number of treatments

b

number of blocks

k

block size

NNPo

optionally, desired concurrence matrix. If not specified, a nearly balanced concurrence matrix is obtained automatically.

ntrial

number of trials

pbar

progress bar

Value

v

number of treatments

b

number of blocks

k

block size

NNP

specified concurrence matrix

N

incidence matrix of the generated design

design

block contents in a b by k matrix

conc.mat

concurrence matrix of the generated design

A.efficiency

A-efficiency of the generated design

D.efficiency

D-efficiency of the generated design

time.taken

time taken to generate the design
