Box 11,Eldoret-Keya Abstract Some ew series of three associate Partially Balaced Icomlete Block Desigs with miimal blocks ad two relicates have bee costructed by itroducig aother blak diagoal etry to triagular associatio scheme. The geeralizatio of arameters for ay eve ositive iteger greater tha or equal to eight have also bee give. Secific desig has also bee costructed to illustrate the results umerically. Keywords: Partially Balaced Icomlete Block, Three associate classes, suerimose. Itroductio By chagig the arragemet of treatmets or omittig some blocks ad or treatmets, we obtai desigs that may be a class of ew desigs. Usig this techique Bose ad Nair (1939) itroduced some PBIB desigs. Atiqullah (1958) established that cosiderig PBIB desigs based o triagular associatio scheme with,,, r =, ad, the ecessary coditio for existece of these PBIB desigs is the existece of symmetrical triagular PBIB desigs with,, ad. Other methods were give by Shrikade (1960, 1965) ad Chag et al (1965) based o the existece of certai BIB desigs ad cosiderig the dual of a BIB desig as omittig certai blocks from the BIB desig. Joh (1966) showed that triagular associatio scheme ca be described by reresetig the treatmets by ordered airs (x, y) with 1 x < y q ad the 188 www.hrmars.com
Iteratioal Joural of Academic Research i Progressive Educatio ad Develomet geeralized (Joh, 1966) for the case that, (q > 3). Arya ad Narai (1981) discussed a ew associatio scheme called trucated triagular (TT) with five associate classes whe with a eve ositive iteger 8, ad used to costruct artial diallel crosses. Chig-Shui et al (1984) came u with a geeral ad simle method of costructio based o the relatio of triagular ad l tye of PBIB desig to the lie grah theory. A costructio of triagular desigs with ested rows ad colums is give by Agrawal ad Prasad (1984). Siha ad Saei (004) gave a series of triagular (teary) desigs with ested row ad colums. Recetly, Garg et al (May, 011) costructed some ew series of triagular ad four associate PBIB desigs with two relicatios by usig dualizatio techique. Costructio of Desigs The desig is costructed from two squared arrays of rows ad colums ( is eve ositive iteger greater tha or equal to eight) with both diagoal etries ij (i=j ad i + j = +1) i array havig o treatmets allocated to as illustrated i figure 1. 3 6 6 3 Figure1. Arragemet of treatmet etries i a squared array i ad j are itegers (1 i, j ) such that; Each row ad colum of the square array has treatmet etries. The treatmet etries are allocated i the array by followig two subsequet stes 1. The iitial set of v treatmet etries are first filled o oe side of the diagoal etries.. The secod set of v treatmet etries are allocated i such a way that give ay two etries ad i j are allocated to treatmet x say, if ad oly if the subscrits i + i = j + j. That is; ay two etries allocated to the same treatmet are characterized by the sum ad equivalece of subscrits i ad j of the two etries ad i j such that: Every treatmet i the array aears twice, 189 www.hrmars.com
Iteratioal Joural of Academic Research i Progressive Educatio ad Develomet A air of treatmets exist i both the i th row ad j th colum (i, j = 1,,... ). The secod array is foud by trasosig the first array ad the suerimosig it o the first so as to obtai a array cotaiig two treatmets i each cell as i Figure. 3 6 3 6 6 3 6 3 Figure. Arragemet of treatmet etries i the suerimosed square array Results Takig each row or colum of figure to costitute a block, we obtai a desig with the followig arameters distict blocks yieldig Associatio scheme Two treatmets are said to be: i. First associates if they both occur i the same row ad colum. ii. Secod associates if they both occur i the same row or the same colum but ot both. iii. Third associates if they either occur i the same row or i the same colum. Givig rise to the followig associatio arameters ( 10) 1 3 4( 4) 3 190 www.hrmars.com
