Definitions:

Randomized Block Design

An experimental design in which units are blocked into groups sharing similar characteristics to reduce variability, with each block then randomly assigned to treatments.

Independent Samples Design

An experimental design where separate groups are independently assigned to different treatments, with no member belonging to more than one group.

Completely Randomized Design

An experimental design where subjects are randomly assigned to treatments, ensuring that each treatment occurs with equal probability across all subjects.

Homogeneous Units

Groups or samples that are similar in characteristics or properties, ensuring that comparisons or experiments are not influenced by differing variables.
