Table of Randomized Block Designs
One useful way to look at a randomized block experiment is to consider it as a collection of completely randomized experiments, each run within one of the blocks of the total experiment.
| Name of Design | Number of Factors k | Number of Runs n |
|---|---|---|
| 2-factor RBD | 2 | L1 * L2 |
| 3-factor RBD | 3 | L1 * L2 * L3 |
| 4-factor RBD | 4 | L1 * L2 * L3 * L4 |
| k-factor RBD | k | L1 * L2 * * Lk |
with
- L1 = number of levels (settings) of factor 1
- L2 = number of levels (settings) of factor 2
- L3 = number of levels (settings) of factor 3
- L4 = number of levels (settings) of factor 4
- Lk = number of levels (settings) of factor k

Famous quotes containing the words table, block and/or designs:
“The gingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat;”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)
“Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one’s future must be hewn.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“He began therefore to invest the fortress of my heart by a circumvallation of distant bows and respectful looks; he then entrenched his forces in the deep caution of never uttering an unguarded word or syllable. His designs being yet covered, he played off from several quarters a large battery of compliments. But here he found a repulse from the enemy by an absolute rejection of such fulsome praise, and this forced him back again close into his former trenches.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
