摘要

Optimal incomplete block designs are pursued through the E criterion of minimizing maximal variance. Methodology is developed for design choice based on graphs and an extensive catalog of downloadable designs is compiled. Along with the general methodology, a near complete solution for E-optimal block designs is provided for up to 15 treatments. E optimality is revealed to be a flexible criterion that, depending on the application, can offer many choices for good designs.
