Robustness of Balanced Incomplete Block Designs
The Annals of Statistics · 1976 · Volume 4 · Issue 5
Abstract
When a variety is lost or omitted from a balanced incomplete block design, the residual design is not, in general, balanced. A lower bound is obtained for the overall efficiency in this case and it is shown that the overall loss of efficiency even in the unbalanced case is small.
