Consumer products and services can often be described as mixtures of ingredients. Examples are the mixture of ingredients in a cocktail and the mixture of different components of waiting time (e.g., in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle travel time) in a transportation setting. Choice experiments may...

In this paper the estimation problem and the problem of designing experiments in a nonlinear regression model, used in microbiology, are studied. The model is called Monod model, defined imlicitly by a differential equation for the regression function and has numerous applications in microbial...

In the common polynomial regression of degree m we determine the design which maximizes the minimum of the D-efficiency in the model of degree m and the D-efficiencies in the models of degree m – j,…, m + k (j, k 0 given). The resulting designs allow an efficient estimation of the...
