Summary

In this paper we consider experimental settings in whichv test treatments are to be compared to some control or standard treatment and where heterogeneity needs to be eliminated inn-directions. Using techniques similar to those used by Kunnert (1983,Ann. Statist.,11, 247–257) concerning the determination of optimal designs under a refined linear model, some methods are given for constructingn-way classification designs which areA- andMV-optimal for estimating elementary treatment differences involving the standard treatment fromm-way classification designs,m<n, which areA- andMV-optimal for estimating the same treatment differences. Examples are given for the casen=2 to show how the results obtained can be applied.
