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:
“How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we cant stop to discuss whether the table has or hasnt legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877?)
“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)
