Description: Constructs partially replicated (p-rep) designs in which every treatment occurs in
    every location, once or twice in Methods I and III and q or q + 1 times
    in Method II, with constant overall replication. Method I
    decomposes the complete graph into Hamiltonian paths, Method II uses
    cyclic blocks derived from a Hamiltonian cycle, and Method III uses
    mutually orthogonal Latin squares over a Galois field. Three
    treatment-replacement extensions (block enlargement, block splitting,
    and replacement followed by column-wise splitting) can be applied to
    Methods I and II. Each design is checked for connectedness and is
    returned with its parameters, pairwise concurrence distribution,
    canonical efficiency factor (CEF), average variance factor (AVF) and a randomized layout.
