bib.CL: Design matrices of period balanced incomplete block designs

Description

This function returns the ‘design’ matrix of incomplete block designs described by Chow & Liu. The design matrices were recoded 1=R, 2=T1, 3=T2, ...

Usage

bib.CL(trt, p)

Value

Matrix containing the sequences in rows and periods in columns.

The entry (i, j) of the matrix corresponds to the treatment or dose (index) a subject within i-th sequence gets in the

trt

Number of treatments (3 to 5).

p

# 4 treatments/doses, 3 periods
bib.CL(4, 3)
# gives 4 sequences
