Reinforced balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs) are very useful in statistical planning of experiments as they can be constructed for any number of treatments for given numbers of replications. Das (1958) was first to introduce the statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) of these designs, and in the same year Giri also developed the same statistical analysis of variance for reinforced partially balanced incomplete block designs (PBIBDs). In this article, we focus on the method of statistical analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) of reinforced balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) when a single explanatory variable is available in the experiment.
