In a recent paper Gonzalez Manteiga and Vilar Fernandez (1995) considered the problem of testing linearity of a regression under MA structure of the errors using a weighted L1-distance between a parametric and a nonparametric fit. They established asymptotic normality of the corresponding test...

For the problem of checking linearity in a heteroscedastic nonparametric regression model under a fixed design assumption we study maximin designs which maximize the minimum power of a nonparametric test over a broad class of alternatives from the assumed linear regression model. It is...

In the common nonparametric regression model y(i) = g(ti) + a (ti) ei , i=1….,n with i.i.d - noise and nonrepeatable design points ti we consider the problem of choosing an optimal design for the estimation of the regression function g. A minimax approach is adopted which searches for designs...

We consider the problem of finding D-optimal designs for estimating the coefficients in a weighted polynominal regression model with a certain efficiency function depending on two unknown parameters, which models he heteroscedastic error structure. This problem is tackled by adopting a Bayesian...

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...

In this paper we describe the special role of moment theory for the construction of optimal designs in statistical regression models. A careful introduction in the problem of designing experiments for certain polynomial regression models is given, and it is demonstrated that the maximization of...

We propose a new test for the comparison of two regression curves, which is based on a difference of two marked empirical processes based on residuals. The large sample behaviour of the corresponding statistic is studied to provide a full nonparametric comparison of regression curves. In...
