Balanced Sampling Plans Excluding Adjacent Units for One Dimentional Population

Balanced sampling plans excluding adjacent units are used for selecting samples from naturally ordered populations where nearer units provide similar measurements. In this article, we present several new balanced sampling plans excluding adjacent units for one dimensional populations with circular and linear ordering of units. The plans are obtained through a new algorithm based on linear integer programming.
