We extend the equivariance and invariance conditions for construction of optimal designs to multiple-group mixed models and, hence, derive the support of optimal designs for first- and second-order models on a symmetric square. Moreover, we provide a tool for computation of D - and L -efficient...

A new method for computing exact experimental designs for linear regression models by integer quadratic programming is proposed. The key idea is to use the criterion of DQ-optimality, which is a quadratic approximation of the criterion of D-optimality in the neighbourhood of the approximate...
