Cyclic Polygonal Designs with Block size 3 and Joint Distance 3
Abstract
polygons, are useful in survey sampling in terms of balanced sampling plans excluding contiguous units (BSECs) and balanced sampling plans excluding adjacent units (BSAs) when neighboring units in a population provide similar information. In this paper, themethod of cyclic shifts is used and cyclic polygonal designs (CPDs) are constructed with block size k 3 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6,12 for joint distance 3 and v{21, 22, ,100}treatments.
