We consider a variable selection problem for the prediction of binary outcomes. We study the best subset selection procedure by which the explanatory variables are chosen by maximizing Manski (1975, 1985)'s maximum score type objective function subject to a constraint on the maximal number of...

In the Michaelis-Menten model we determine efficient designs by maximizing a minimum of standardized E-efficiencies. It is shown that in many cases the optimal designs are supported at only two points and the support points and corresponding weights can be characterized explicitly. Moreover, a...
