Abstract:
This paper deals with bipartite block model with neighbour effects incorporating trend component. The information matrices for estimating
direct as well as neighbour effects incorporating trend component have been derived. The conditions for a block design with neighbour effects to
be trend resistant have also been obtained. Further, methods of constructing trend resistant neighbour balanced bipartite block design have been
discussed. The designs so obtained are totally balanced for estimating direct and neighbour effects of treatments.
