Row‐Column Factorial Designs for Use in Agricultural Field Trials

E. R. Williams and J. A. John

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1996, vol. 45, issue 1, 39-46

Abstract: Factorial row‐column designs are often required for field trials in agricultural, horticultural and forestry research, but no general methodology is available to produce efficient designs. This paper describes a new objective function defined in such a way that varying degrees of emphasis can be given to main effects in the factorial situation. A computer program to generate such designs has been adapted from the simulated annealing algorithm of John and Whitaker. The program can also accommodate the Latinized row‐column designs of Williams.
