In this article, the problem of constructing efficient discriminating designs in a Fourier regression model is considered. We propose designs which maximize the efficiency for the estimation of the coefficient corresponding to the highest frequency subject to the constraints that the...

We investigate optimal designs for discriminating between exponential regression models of different complexity, which are widely used in the biological sciences; see, e.g., Landaw (1995) or Gibaldi and Perrier (1982). We discuss different approaches for the construction of appropriate...

In this paper optimal experimental designs for inverse quadratic regression models are determined. We consider two dfferent parameterizations of the model and investigate local optimal designs with respect to the c-, D-and E-criteria, which reflect various aspects of the precision of the maximum...

In the common Fourier regression model we investigate the optimal design problem for estimating pairs of the coefficients, where the explanatory variable varies in the interval [¡ơ; ơ]. L-optimal designs are considered and for many important cases L-optimal designs can be found explicitly,...

If a model is fitted to empirical data, bias can arise from terms which are not incorporated in the model assumptions. As a consequence the commonly used optimality criteria based on the generalized variance of the estimate of the model parameters may not lead to efficient designs for the...

In the common linear regression model we consider the problem of designing experiments for estimating the slope of the expected response in a regression. We discuss locally optimal designs, where the experimenter is only interested in the slope at a particular point, and standardized minimax...
