Abstract

Optimaztion

How can we exploit the advantages of Balanced Block Design while keeping the logistics manageable?

  • Maximize number of item pairs
  • Subject to maximum number of test booklets
  • Subject to other constraints

Homogeneous Designs: Overlap between test booklets as regular as possible

Conclusions:

  • Establish overlaps as regular as possible between all test booklets
  • Or, at least as many test booklets as possible
