Dedicated to Reza Khosrovshahi on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (ISBN 978-0-8218-4865-4/pbk). Contemporary Mathematics 531, 43-58 (2010).
Summary: A class of two way arrays called totally balanced test-control incomplete crossover design (TBTCI) is introduced here. These designs could be applied to compar two or more test treatments with a control treatment. Multiple mathematical methods for constructing this class of arrays are developed, and discussed. Further research problems from both mathematical and statistical angles are indicated.
