Pigeon & Raghavarao (1987) introduced control balanced residual treatment effects designs for the situation where one treatment is a control or standard and is to be compared with the v test treatments, and they have also given methods of construction of control balanced residual treatment...

Mclean and Anderson (1966), Snee (1975) and Nigam et al. (1983) have used symmetric factorials for constructing designs for fitting the quadratic mixture models, when the mixture components are constrained by upper and lower bounds. In this paper, we have used asymmetrical factorial plans for...
