A-Optimal Block Designs for Comparing Test Treatments with a Control.

Abstract

This document considers the problem of comparing test treatments with a control in a proper block design. The auther derives sufficient conditions for the A-optimality of both R-type and S-type designs, and demonstrates how these conditions can be used to obtain families of optimal designs. He gives an example for the construction of the desired S-type designs. A table with optimal R-type designs (3 > or = k > or = 10, k > or = v > or = 30) is also given.
