Semi-Regular Group Divisible Designs For Smaller Block Size
Keywords:
Semi-Regular Group Divisible design, Balanced Incomplete Block design,, orthogonal arrayAbstract
A group divisible (GD) design is said to be Singular (S) if ; Semi regular (SR) if and rk – v = 0; Regular (R) if
and . In the paper, a new procedure of constructing SRGD design with and , is proposed from a parent SRGD after reducing number of treatment and same number of blocks without disturbing its Semi-Regularity property. It privileges the experimenters to decrease the number of treatment without affecting the number of blocks. Such designs are useful in civil engineers, Agricultural experiments and others.
