Censoring may occur in many industrial or biomedical time to event experiments. Efficient designs for such experiments are needed but finding such designs can be problematic since the statistical models involved will usually be nonlinear, making the optimal choice of design parameter dependent....

We present a new approach to handle dependencies within the general framework of case-control designs, illustrating our approach by a particular application from the field of genetic epidemiology. The method is derived for parent-offspring trios, which will later be relaxed to more general...

In this article, the problem of constructing efficient discriminating designs in a Fourier regression model is considered. We propose designs which maximize the efficiency for the estimation of the coefficient corresponding to the highest frequency subject to the constraints that the...

Finding optimal designs for nonlinear models is challenging in general. Although some recent results allow us to focus on a simple subclass of designs for most problems, deriving a specific optimal design still mainly depends on numerical approaches. There is need for a general and efficient...

In dose-response studies, the dose range is often restricted due to ethics concerns over drug toxicity and/or efficacy, particularly when human subjects are involved. We present locally optimal designs for the estimation of several percentiles simultaneously on restricted as well as unrestricted...

In dose-response studies, the dose range is often restricted due to concerns over drug toxicity and/or efficacy. We derive optimal designs for estimating the underlying dose-response curve for a restricted or unrestricted dose range with respect to a broad class of optimality criteria. The...
