Stat 650/403 Randomized Block Design Read the section on Blocking Designs (pages 185-190) in Julian Faraway's Practical Regression and ANOVA using R (2002). This treatment of the topic is very concise ...

In a randomized complete block design (RCBD), each level of a "treatment" appears once in each block, and each block contains all the treatments. The order of treatments is randomized separately for ...

The covariance matrix of this distribution, the null analysis of variance, and the expectations of the various mean squares in it are all derivable from the initial description of the block structure.

Several tests for randomized complete block designs are compared, including the F-test, Friedman's test, and a few aligned rank tests. An additive model was used in this simulation study with random ...
