Even when a parameter set (v, k, λ) satisfies the necessary conditions for the existence of a Balanced Incomplete Block (BIB) design, the actual design may not exist or its existence may be unknown.

While the analysis of variance test statistic F in a balanced incomplete block design without randomization is a constant under the Fisher model, i.e., a linear model without technical errors, and it ...

The BLOCKS statement finds a design that maximizes the determinant |X'AX| of the treatment information matrix, where A depends on the block or covariate model. Alternatively, you can directly specify ...
