A balanced incomplete block design is defined as an arrangement of v objects in b blocks, each block containing k objects all different, so that there are r blocks containing a given object and λ blocks containing any two given objects. Such designs have been studied for their combinatorial interest, as in (3), and also for their application to statistics, where the objects are usually varieties.
