A method for constructing balanced incomplete-block designs with nested rows and columns
Department of Statistics, University of California Berkeley, California 94720, U.S.A.
A general method for constructing balanced incomplete-block designs with nested rows and columns is presented. Many designs are obtained in which none of the treatment-block, treatment-row and treatment-column incidence matrices is the incidence matrix of a balanced incomplete-block design. If the method of construction is applied to a generally balanced design, then the resulting design is also generally balanced.
