It generates Randomized Complete Block Design. "Random" uses the methods of number generation in R. The seed is by set.seed(seed, kinds).

design.rcbd(
  trt,
  r,
  serie = 2,
  seed = 0,
  kinds = "Super-Duper",
  first = TRUE,
  continue = FALSE,
  randomization = TRUE
)

Arguments

trt

Treatments
