Balanced treatment incomplete block designs through integer programming. (English) Zbl 1422.62267

Summary: An algorithm is presented to construct balanced treatment incomplete block (BTIB) designs using a linear integer programming approach. Construction of BTIB designs using the proposed approach is illustrated with an example. A list of efficient BTIB designs for \(2\leq v\leq 12\), \(v+1\leq b\leq 50\), \(2\leq k\leq \min(10,v)\), \(r\leq 10\), \(r_0\leq 20\) is provided. The proposed algorithm is implemented as part of an R package.
