In this paper algorithms are presented for constructing orthogonal main effect plans (OMEPs) with different numbers of repeated runs. We give bounds for the number of repeated runs, an interchange algorithm for three factor OMEPs, and a backtrack algori

SummaryThis paper presents an algorithm for the construction of optimal or near optimal change‐over designs for arbitrary numbers of treatments, periods and units. Previous research on optimality has been either theoretical or has resulted in limited tabulations of small optimal designs. The algorithm consists of a number of steps:first find an optimal direct treatment effects design, ignoring residual effects, and then optimise this class of designs with respect to residual effects. Poor designs are avoided by judicious application of the (M, S)‐optimality criterion, and modifications of it, to appropriate matrices. The performance of the algorithm is illustrated by examples.

Cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analyses of immunisation strategies against invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease in Australia were based on a hypothetical birth cohort of 250000 non-Aboriginal Australian children. The model predicted

In this paper we give a bound for the minimum number of runs in an orthogonal main effect plan (OMEP) with k factors and factor levels s(i), 1 less-than-or-equal-to i less-than-or-equal-to k, and some constructions for OMEPs and partially replicated OMEP

We examine the structure of Williams designs with circular structure. An important class of these designs are Latin squares of a particular type, and we give detailed information about the number and structure of these designs for orders 3-6.
