We describe an algorithm for the construction of optimum experimental designs for the parameters in a regression model when the errors have a correlation structure. Our example is drawn from chemical kinetics, so that the model is nonlinear. Our algorithm has been implemented to be used when the...

In recent years, the continuous structural change in the value chain of modern food production has been characterised by an increasing international division of labour among manufacturing companies. A regional specialisation of primary agricultural production is especially apparent in meat...

In this paper, a reduced order mechanistic model is proposed for the evolution of temperature and humidity during French bread baking. The model parameters are identified using experimental data. The resulting model is then used to estimate the potential energy saving that can be obtained using...

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...

A computationally attractive model for the analysis of conjoint choice experiments is the mixed multinomial logit model, a multinomial logit model in which it is assumed that the coefficients follow a (normal) distribution across subjects. This model offers the advantage over the standard...
