Abstract

Minimal circular weakly balanced neighbor designs (MCWBNDs) are efficient to controlneighbor effects for v even. MCWBNDs-II are designs where3v/2 unordered pairs of different treatments occur twice but remaining pairs occur once as neighbors, are not available for m (mod 4) ≡ 0& 3 in blocks of three different sizes with m = (v-2)/2 and v even. Here, some new generators are presented to develop cyclic shifts to get MCWBNDs-II in blocks of three different sizes.
