Consider a two associate class partially balanced incomplete block (PBIB) design [2] with parameters of the first kind t, b, r, λ,1 λ,2 n1, n2, and parameters of the second kind . Let the letters m, p, l, s represent treatments and define
associates of treatment m, λmps = number of times the treatments m, p and s all occur together in the same block, λmpls = number of times the treatments m, p, l and s all occur together in the same block.
