This paper considers optimal experimental designs for models with correlated observations through a covariance function depending on the magnitude of the responses. This suggests the use of stochastic processes whose covariance structure is a function of the mean. Covariance functions must be...

The optimum design of thermoelectric devices (thermoelectric generator and cooler) in connection with heat sinks was developed using dimensional analysis. New dimensionless groups were properly defined to represent important parameters of the thermoelectric devices. Particularly, use of the...

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...
