Randomized Complete Block Design/Evidence
Method evidence record

Randomized Complete Block Design

The Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) is a parametric experimental design and hypothesis-testing framework that isolates and removes a known source of heterogeneity — called a block — before comparing treatment means. Introduced by Ronald A. Fisher in his 1935 monograph The Design of Experiments, it remains the foundational blocked design in agricultural, clinical, and industrial research.
