An incomplete split-block design generated by GDPBIBD(2)s

This paper deals with two-factorial experiments laid out in incomplete split-block designs. We propose an incomplete split-block design that is obtained as the Kronecker product of two designs, one for row treatments and the second one for column treatments. For such a design we investigate statistical properties such as general balance and efficiency balance. Especially, we investigate the above properties when the design is the Kronecker product of two GDPBIBD(2)s. The so-obtained design is termed incomplete split-block design generated by GDPBIBD(2)s.
