Repeated Measurements Designs, II

Abstract : Repeated measurements designs are concerned with scientific experiments in which subjects (experimental units) are repeatedly exposed to a sequence of different or identical tests (treatments). These designs have application in many branches of scientific inquiry such as: Biology, education, food science, marketing, environmental engineering, medicine and pharmacology. The objectives in the paper are threefold: (1) To construct some families of repeated measurements designs which researchers have been seeking. These designs are useful for those cases where a subject cannot participate in all tests as in many pharmacological studies; (2) to provide an extensive list of references on repeated measurements designs which it is hoped, will be useful to those who want to do further research in this area; (3) to state some unsolved problems which have an immediate application.
