Abstract

Srivastava and Anderson(1970) illustrate a method of obtaining Balanced (but not orthogonal) Resolution $IV^*$ designs starting with a BIB design. The incidence matrix of a BIB design with parameters (v, b, r, k, and $\lambda$) is utilized to obtain Balanced Resolution $IV^*$ designs with m factors and n=2b runs, where $m \leq v$. In this paper, the same idea is extended to the case of PBIB designs to obtain Partially Balanced Resolution $IV^*$ designs. In the designs obtained here the variances are balanced and the covariances are partially balanced with respect to the main effects. A proof of this property of Partially Balanced Resoultion $IV^*$ designs is given. The efficiency of Partially Balanced Resolution $IV^*$ designs is also considered and examples of Partially Balanced Resoultion $IV^*$ designs are included.
