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...

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...

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...

Gompertz functions have been widely used in characterizing biological growth curves. In this paper we consider D-optimal designs for Gompertz regression models. For homoscedastic Gompertz regression models with two or three parameters, we prove that D-optimal designs are minimally supported....
