Theory of Block Designs

Theory of Block Designs provides a systematic, self-contained and comprehensive account of construction, analysis and applications of block designs. The book contains a detailed account of the statistical and combinatorial aspects of block designs. Several recently developed ideas and concepts have been included and are available here for the first time in the form of a book. Some of the special features of the book are: A separate chapter devoted to the essential mathematical and statistical requirements; Discussion of several advanced topics in block designs, eg, cyclic designs, designs with factorial structure, block designs with nested nuisance factors, designs for biological assays, robustness of block designs, etc; More than 60 fully worked out examples, more than 100 problems and nearly 350 references.
