On the construction of group divisible incomplete block designs

In this paper a method of constructing group-divisible incomplete block designs has been suggested. A series of balanced incomplete block designs has also been obtained.     

Regular group divisible designs and Bhaskar Rao designs with block size three

Some recursive constructions are given for Bhaskar Rao designs. Using examples of these designs found by Shyam J. Singh, Rakesh Vyas and new ones given here we show the necessary conditions λ≡0 (mod 2), λυ(υ?1)≡0 (mod 24) are sufficient for the existence of Bhaskar Rao designs with one association class and block size 3. This result is used with a result of Street and Rodger to obtain regular partially balanced block designs with 2υ treatments, block size 3, λ₁=0, group size 2 and υ groups.     

Constructions of Nested Pairwise Efficiency and Variance Balanced Designs

ABSTRACT

Nested pairwise efficiency and variance balanced designs form a new class of block designs. In this article, two methods of constructing such designs from a symmetric balanced incomplete block design are proposed with some illustrations.     

Wavelet Estimation of an Unknown Function Observed with Correlated Noise

Tests based on rank statistics are introduced to test for systematic changes in a sequence of independent observations. Proposed tests include a rank test analogous to the parametric likelihood ratio test and others analogous to parametric Bayes tests. The tests are usable with either one- or two-sided alternative hypotheses, and their asymptotic distributions are studied. The results of the general model are applied to two special cases, and their asymptotic distributions are also investigated. A Monte Carlo study verifies the applicability of asymptotic critical points in samples of moderate size, and other simulation studies compare power of the competing tests and their special-case versions. Finally, these tests are applied to a data set of traffic fatalities.     

Notes on the two-stage procedure under an incomplete block two-period crossover design

Abstract

Under an incomplete block crossover design with two periods, we derive the least-squares estimators for the period effect, treatment effects and carry-over effects in explicit formulae based on within-patient differences. Using the commonly-used strategy of searching a base model for making inferences in regression analysis, we define a two-stage test procedure in studying treatment effects. On the basis of Monte Carlo simulation, we evaluate the performance of the two-stage procedure for hypothesis testing, point and interval estimation of treatment effects in a variety of situations. We note that use of the two-stage procedure can be potentially misleading and hence one should not apply a test procedure to exclusively determine whether he/she needs to account for the carry-over effect in studying treatment effects. We use the double-blind crossover trial comparing two different doses of formoterol with placebo on the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV₁) readings to illustrate the use of the two-stage procedure, as well as the distinction between use of two-stage procedure and the approach with assuming no carry-over effects based on one's subjective knowledge.     

Incomplete block designs for asymmetric parallel line assays

Abstract

A method of construction of A-optimal binary block designs for asymmetrical parallel line assays, i.e., the assays in which the number doses for standard and test preparation are unequal has been considered. The method is illustrated with examples. Two cases of this method have been considered. In the first case, designs obtained are of equal replications of the doses. In the second case, designs with unequal replications are obtained.     

Nonproper variance balanced designs and optimality

This communication deals with the construction and optimality of non-proper (unequal block sized) variance balanced (VB) designs obtainable under linear homoscedastic normal model. Several methods of construction of non-proper VB designs have been given. Some constructed designs are universally optimal non-proper variance balanced designs.
