Pseudo New Modified Latin Square (NML m (m)) Type PBIB Designs
A New Modified Latin square [NML i (m)] association scheme with i constraints for v = m 2 treatments was introduced by Garg (2008). In this article, a new association scheme known as Pseudo New Modified Latin square [Pseudo NML m (m)] type association scheme is defined. The parameters of Pseudo NML m (m) association scheme turned out to be parameters of NML i (m) association scheme by taking i = m in NML i (m) association scheme. The Pseudo NML m (m) association scheme will be the usual NML m (m) association scheme when m is a prime or a prime power. The PBIB designs following Pseudo NML m (m) association scheme will be called the Pseudo NML m (m) type PBIB designs. Analysis of Pseudo NML m (m) designs along with a construction method of these designs is also given in this article.
