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...

Irrespective of the statistical model under study, the derivation of limits, in the Le Cam sense, of sequences of local experiments (see [7]-[10]) often follows along very similar lines, essentially involving differentiability in quadratic mean of square roots of (conditional) densities. This...

We consider a class of optimality criteria and show that each crite- rion has its unique and equivalent dual within the class. This property can be used to find a variety of optimal designs, including a class of compound optimal designs and their relationships. As an example, we show that one...

In this paper the problem of designing experiments for a model which is called Monod model and is frequently used in microbiology is studied. The model is defined implicitly by a differential equation and has numerous applications in microbial growth kinetics, environmental research,...
