Abstract
Augmented block designs for unreplicated test treatments are investigated under the A- and MV-criteria with respect to test versus test, control versus test and control versus control comparisons. We derive design-independent lower bounds on these criteria over a wide class of competing designs. These bounds are useful benchmarks and the resulting expressions for efficiencies enable objective assessment of any given design under theA- and MV-criteria. It is seen that the use of BIB designs and duals thereof as well as existing block design catalogs often leads to very high efficiencies for all three types of comparisons. Illustrative examples, including a large-scale one, are presented.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
