Abstract [en]
The experiments where response of a treatment (direct effect) is affected by the treatment(s) applied in neighboring units, neighbor designs are used to balance the neighbor effects. Being the economical, minimal neighbor designs are preferred by the experimenters. Minimal circular neighbor designs could not be constructed for almost every case of v even, where v is number of treatments. For v even, minimal circular generalized neighbor designs are preferred. In this article, algorithms are developed to obtain minimal circular generalized neighbor designs in which (a) v/2 of the unordered pairs, and (b) 3v/2 of the unordered pairs, do not appear as neighbor whereas the remaining ones appear once. These algorithms are also coded with R-language.
