In this note we consider the D-optimal design problem for the heteroscedastic polynomial regression model. Karlin and Studden (1966a) found explicit solutions for three types of efficiency functions. We introduce two ‘new’ functions to model the heteroscedastic structure, for which 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...

In the common polynomial regression model of degree m we consider the problem of determining the D- and D1-optimal designs subject to certain constraints for the D- efficiencies in the models of degree m – j,m + j , … m + k (m j 0 k 0 given). We present a complete solution of these...
