On The Estimation of Two Missing Values in Randomized Complete Block Designs

Abstract

This paper reviews the work of Bhad and Ahmed (2012), identify flaws in their model formulation and make corrections accordingly. Furthermore, the formular for the estimation of two missing values in randomized complete block designs is derived and is applied to the example given in Bhad and Ahmed (2012). The results obtained from our formular produces a better estimate of missing values than that of Bhad and Ahmed (2012).

Key words: Randomized Complete Block Design, Sum of Squares of Errors, Missing Values, Estimation, and Sources of Variability.
