Neighbor Designs in Circular Blocks of Size Seven

Abstract

Neighbor Designs (ND) are more useful to remove the Neighbor Effects in experiments where the performance of a treatment is affected by the treatments applied to its adjacent plots. These designs ensure that treatment comparisons will be less affected by Neighbor Effects as possible. Neighbor Designs in circular blocks individually of size five, six, eight and nine are already available in the literature. In this article, Neighbor Designs are constructed in circular binary blocks of size seven. A catalog of these designs is also compiled.
