Here, using a linear algebraic approach we define an inclusion matrix and find its rank. In the special case of Latin squares we show that there is a straightforward algorithm for generating a basis for this matrix using the so-called intercalates. We also extend this last idea.11 pagesCombinatorics05B15A linear algebraic approach to orthogonal arrays and Latin squarestext
