intcbd.mae: Generates initial connected block design

Description

Generates a random initial connected block design for a given number of blocks b of size k = 2 and the number of treatments v.

Usage

intcbd.mae(trt.N, blk.N)

Arguments

trt.N

integer, specifying number of treatments, v.

blk.N

integer, specifying number of arrays, b.

Value
