series1

n is the number of classes to which the elements of Module M are assigned

Let us consider a module M of residue class mod(5) having elements 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and all the elements of M are assigned to each of the n &gt;= 2 classes. This function constructs PBIB designs with the following parameters:
v = 5n, b = 5n, r = n+4, k = n+4
lambda 1 = 5, lambda 2 = 2, lambda 3 = 5, lambda 4 = 2, lambda 5 = n

Partially Balanced Incomplete Block Designs

Construction of PBIB designs

five-associate class

The PBIB designs are important type of incomplete block designs having wide area of their applications for example in agricultural experiments, in plant breeding, in sample surveys etc. This package constructs various series of PBIB designs and assists in checking all the necessary conditions of PBIB designs and the association scheme on which these designs are based on. It also assists in calculating the efficiencies of PBIB designs with any number of associate classes. The package also constructs Youden-m square designs which are Row-Column designs for the two-way elimination of heterogeneity. The incomplete columns of these Youden-m square designs constitute PBIB designs. With the present functionality, the package will be of immense importance for the researchers as it will help them to construct PBIB designs, to check if their PBIB designs and association scheme satisfy various necessary conditions for the existence, to calculate the efficiencies of PBIB designs based on any association scheme and to construct Youden-m square designs for the two-way elimination of heterogeneity.
