Abstract: The theory of optimal experimental designs is concerned with the construction of designs that are optimum with respect to some statistical criteria. Some of these criteria include the alphabetic optimality criteria such as; D-, A-, E-, T-, G- and C- criterion. Compound optimality criteria are those that combine two or more alphabetic optimality criteria. Design that require optimality criteria have specific desired properties that do very well in one design and at the same time perform poorly in another design. Thus, a compound optimality criterion gives a balance to the desirability of any two or more alphabetic optimality criteria. The present paper aims to introduce CD- and DT- criteria which are compound optimality criteria for second order rotatable designs constructed using Balanced Incomplete Block Designs (BIBDs) in four dimensions.
