For the problem of percentile estimation of a quantal response curve, we determine multi-objective designs which are robust with respect to misspecifications of the model assumptions. We propose a maximin approach based on efficiencies and provide designs that are simultaneously efficient with...

We construct efficient designs for the Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetic model capable of checking model assumption. An extended model, called EMAX model is also considered for this purpose. This model is widely used in pharmacokinetics and reduces to the Michaelis- Menten model for a specific...

We construct optimal designs for estimating fetal malformation rate, prenatal death rate and an overall toxicity index in a toxicology study under a broad range of model assumptions. We use Weibull distributions to model these rates and assume that the number of implants depend on the dose...

For the compartmental model we determine optimal designs, which are robust against misspecifications of the unknown model parameters. We propose a maximin approach based on D-efficiencies and provide designs that are optimal with respect to the particular choice of various parameter regions.

For the binary response model, we determine optimal designs which are robust wit respect to the misspecifications of the unknown parameters. We propose a maximin approach and provide a numerical method to identify the best two point designs for the commonly applied link functions. This method is...
