Abstract

In this study, we propose a new method of construction of rectangular Partially Balanced Incomplete Block (PBIB) designs of size k = 2s and 2≤s < l and singular Group Divisible (GD) designs of size k = 2l, l is the number of columns in a rectangular matrix containing v = n × l treatments. We give the parameters expression of the obtained designs. Furthermore, we provide two algorithms of calculation for practical use.
