Constructs Youden-m square designs and provides parameters of the corresponding PBIB design

Description

This function constructs a Youden-m square by omitting the middle row and an equal number of rows t from both ends of an odd-ordered Circulant matrix of order v \geq 7. The rows retained lie between the middle omitted row and the omitted rows from the top or bottom. This arrangement yields a Youden-m square suitable for two-way elimination of heterogeneity.

The columns of this Youden-m square constitute a PBIB design with the following parameters:

Usage

ym3(n, t)

Arguments

n

Order of the circulant matrix, which is also the number of treatments.

t

Number of rows to omit from both ends of the circulant matrix.

Value

The function returns the constructed Youden-m square design and the parameters of the PBIB design obtained by treating the incomplete columns of the square as blocks.
