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:
“When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
When our table with cherries and nuts is spread:
Come live, and be merry, and join with me
To sing the sweet chorus of Ha, ha, he!”
—William Blake (17571827)
“No contact with savage Indian tribes has ever daunted me more than the morning I spent with an old lady swathed in woolies who compared herself to a rotten herring encased in a block of ice.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
“Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie,
Which we ascribe to heaven. The fated sky
Gives us free scope, only doth backward pull
Our slow designs when we ourselves are dull.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
