In this paper we present a method of designing a three-factor experiment with crossed and nested treatment structures. The design considered is called a split-plot × split-block design. A kind of design incomplete with respect to all three factors is examined. Additionally, we consider the usefulness of group divisible partially balanced incomplete block designs with two associate classes in planning such experiments. In modeling data obtained from them, we take into account the structure of experimental material and a four-step randomization scheme for the different kind of units. As regards the analysis of the obtained randomization model with seven strata, we adapt an approach typical of multistratum experiments with orthogonal block structure.

The purpose of this note is to point out some connexions between generalized Hadamard matrices (4, 5) and various tactical configurations such as group divisible designs (3), affine resolvable balanced incomplete block designs (1), and orthogonal arrays of strength two (2). Some constructions for these arrays are also indicated.A balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) with parameters v, b, r, k, λ is an arrangement of v symbols called treatments into b subsets called blocks of k < v distinct treatments such that each treatment occurs in r blocks and any pair of treatments occurs in λ blocks.

A balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) B[k, λ; v] is an arrangement of v distinct elements into blocks each containing exactly k distinct elements such that each pair of elements occurs together in exactly λ blocks.The following is a well-known theorem [5, p. 248].THEOREM 1. A necessary condition for the existence of a BIBD B[k, λ,v] is that(1)It is also well known [5] that condition (1) is not sufficient for the existence of B[k, λ; v].There is an old conjecture that for any given k and λ condition (1) may be sufficient for the existence of a BIBD B[k, λ; v] if v is sufficiently large. It is attempted here to prove this conjecture in some specific cases.There is an old conjecture that for any given k and X condition (1) may be sufficient for the existence of a BIBD B[k, λ; v] if v is sufficiently large.

A construction method for group divisible designs is employed to construct (i) infinitely many non-symmetric semiregular group divisible designs whose duals are semiregular group divisible designs, and (ii) infinitely many transversal designs whose duals are group divisible 3-associate designs. A construction method for affine α−resolvable balanced incomplete block designs is also given and illustrated.

A balanced incomplete block design is defined as an arrangement of v objects in b blocks, each block containing k objects all different, so that there are r blocks containing a given object and λ blocks containing any two given objects. Such designs have been studied for their combinatorial interest, as in (3), and also for their application to statistics, where the objects are usually varieties.
