Efficient Circular Partially Balanced RMDs-II for v odd

Abstract

Being economical, RMDs are used in the experiments of almost every field of life. When RMDs are applied, there are chances to rise the residual effects. Residual effects can be removed through washout periods, but washout periods cannot be applied in many situations. To balance the residual effects, minimal circular balanced RMDs are preferred which can only be constructed for odd v = ip+1 through method of cyclic shifts (Rule I). Partially balanced RMDs-II can be used for odd v = ip+3 which are not available in literature. In this article, therefore, these designs are constructed using Rule I for 3 ≤ p ≤10. Efficiency measures of residual effects and of Separability for each design are also calculated.
