A computer algorithm has been developed to obtain polygonal designs. The plans generated by the modified algorithm may, however, have larger support sizes compared to the plans generated through polygonal designs. The linear programming has also been exploited to obtain both circular and linear BSA (m) plans by minimizing the probabilities of selection of samples containing adjacent units. This method is quite useful for obtaining smaller sampling plans and takes very less time.Not Availabl
