BIBsize: Balanced incomplete blocksize

Description

This function computes the number of blocks, treatment frequency and lambda for a potential BIB design

Usage

BIBsize(t,k)

Value

a list containing the b=number of blocks, r=number of treatment replicates and lambda for a potential BIB design with t levels of treatment factor and blocksize k.

Arguments

t

input - number of levels of the treatment factor

k

input - blocksize or number of experimental units per block
