Abstract
E-optimality for test treatments versus control (TvC) experiments is studied from a weighted perspective. A definitive interpretation for the E criterion is established in the TvC setup, and a wide class of E-optimal block designs is determined. Secondary criteria are easily brought to bear, producing designs that are firstly optimal for test/control comparisons, and secondarily optimal for test/test comparisons.
