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 of, table, block and/or designs:
“Remember thee?
Ay, thou poor ghost, whiles memory holds a seat
In this distracted globe. Remember thee?
Yea, from the table of my memory
Ill wipe away all trivial fond records,
All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past
That youth and observation copied there,
And thy commandment all alone shall live
Within the book and volume of my brain,”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Language was vigorous because, because ... editors usually laid all the cards on the table so as to leave their hands ... free for more persuasive arguments! The citizenry at large retaliated as best they could.”

“The skyscraper establishes the block, the block creates the street, the street offers itself to man.”
—Roland Barthes (19151980)
“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.”
