Some E-Optimal Designs for the One-Way and Two-Way Elimination of Heterogeneity
本文证明了在探索性实验中,使用不等重复的区组或行列设计可以避免浪费实验单元,并最大化处理效应的信息,证明了若干此类设计的E最优性。
Summary In exploratory experiments aimed at providing as much information as possible on the effects of the treatments being studied and where heterogeneity needs to be eliminated in one or two directions, use of an equally replicated block or row-column design may mean wasting some of the available experimental units. In this paper we prove the E-optimality of several different types of block and row-column designs that have unequally replicated treatments; such unequally replicated designs can maximize the information on treatment effects without wasting units.
