Construction of minimal circular balanced and partially balanced repeated measurements designs using cyclic shifts Rule I and II for the same v even
The use of minimal circular balanced RMDs (MCBRMDs) economically control carryover effects. Method of cyclic shifts (Rule I) produces MCBRMDs only for v odd, where v is the number of treatments to be compared. For v even, Rule I generates minimal circular partially balanced RMDs (MCPBRMDs) while Rule II may produce these designs for v integer. Using Rule I, MCPBRMDs are constructed in this article for v even in equal, two different, and three different period sizes. MCPBRMDs and MCBRMDs are also constructed for the same v using Rule II. The efficiency of separability (Es) and carryover effects (Er) for the same v are then used to compare these Rules of construction. Researchers and experimenters can use this comparison to determine which design to use and with which Rule it should be constructed.
