Key Concepts

Balanced Incomplete Block Design (BIBD)

A BIBD is a system of v elements (or treatments) arranged in b blocks, where each block contains k elements, and every pair of distinct elements appears together in exactly ? blocks. It is 'incomplete' because not every block contains every element, and it is 'balanced' due to the uniformity in the number of times each pair of elements occurs together, thereby providing a structured method for comparison among elements.

Complementary Design

The complementary design of a given block design is constructed by replacing each block with its complement relative to the full set of elements. In this new design, the properties such as the number of elements per block and the number of times pairs of elements occur together are transformed according to specific relationships derived from the original design parameters.

Design Parameters Relationships

The parameters of a BIBD, typically denoted as (v, b, r, k, ?), are interconnected by combinatorial equations. When forming a complementary design, the block size changes to v ? k and other parameters adjust accordingly. Understanding these relationships is crucial for determining the properties of the complementary design from those of the original design.
