A partially balanced incomplete block (PBIB) design with m-associate classes is defined by Bose and Shimamoto (4) as follows:

(i) The experimental material is divided into b blocks of k units each, different treatments being applied to the units in the same block.

(ii) There are v treatments each of which occurs in r blocks.

(iii) There can be established a relation of association between any two treatments satisfying the following requirements.
