The PLAN Procedure

(View the complete code for this example.)

The following statements depict how to create an appropriately randomized generalized cyclic incomplete block design for v treatments (given by the value of t) in b blocks (given by the value of b) of size k (with values of p indexing the cells within a block) with initial block and increment number i.

For example, the specification

proc plan seed=37430;
   factors b=10 p=4;
   treatments t=4 of 30 cyclic (1 3 4 26) 2;
run;

generates the generalized cyclic incomplete block design given in Example 1 of Jarrett and Hall (1978), which is given by the rows and columns of the plan associated with the treatment factor t in Output 87.5.1.
