Stated choice experiments have proven to be a powerful tool in eliciting preferences across a broad range of choice settings. This paper outlines the elements of a group-based experiment designed for interdependent urban freight stakeholders, along with the procedure to administer the...

Measurement on sets with a specific geometric shape can be of interest for many important applications (e.g., measurement along the isotherms in structural engineering). The properties of optimal designs for estimating the parameters of shifted Ornstein–Uhlenbeck sheets are investigated when...

A simplex-centroid design for q mixture components comprises of all possible subsets of the q components, present in equal proportions. The design does not contain full mixture blends except the overall centroid. In real-life situations, all mixture blends comprise of at least a minimum...

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...

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...
