In the common linear regression model we consider the problem of designing experiments for estimating the slope of the expected response in a regression. We discuss locally optimal designs, where the experimenter is only interested in the slope at a particular point, and standardized minimax...

In the common Fourier regression model we determine the optimal designs for estimating the coefficients corresponding to the lower frequencies. An analytical solution is provided which is found by an alternative characterization of c-optimal designs. Several examples are provided and the...

In the common trigonometric regression model we investigate the optimal design problem for the estimation of the individual coefficients, where the explanatory variable varies in the interval [-a ,a] ; 0 a t. It is demonstrated that the structure of the optimal design depends sensitively on...
