Algorithm to generate efficient circular designs robust to neighbor effects

Minimal circular balanced and strongly balanced neighbor designs (MCBNDs & MCSBNDs) are popular to control neighbor effects and to estimate neighbor and direct effects independently. In this article, an R-coded algorithm is presented to obtain efficient MCBNDs and MCSBNDs for odd v (number of tr...

Summary:Minimal circular balanced and strongly balanced neighbor designs (MCBNDs & MCSBNDs) are popular to control neighbor effects and to estimate neighbor and direct effects independently. In this article, an R-coded algorithm is presented to obtain efficient MCBNDs and MCSBNDs for odd v (number of treatments), and its four generalized classes for v even. Developed algorithm has made the construction of the efficient circular designs robust to neighbor effects so easy in blocks of equal and unequal sizes. •Anyone can easily use these R-codes to create sets for circular balanced neighbor designs.•The R-based algorithm creates designs for odd and even v (treatments to compare) efficiently.•Outputs are obtained very quickly.•It offers a comprehensive solution for minimal circular neighbor designs along with their efficient classes.•The methodology for constructing shift sets is explained in detail in the accompanying papers.
