Consumer products and services can often be described as mixtures of ingredients. Examples are the mixture of ingredients in a cocktail and the mixture of different components of waiting time (e.g., in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle travel time) in a transportation setting. Choice experiments may...

We discuss optimal design problems for a popular method of series estimation in regression problems. Commonly used design criteria are based on the generalized variance of the estimates of the coefficients in a truncated series expansion and do not take possible bias into account. We present a...

In this paper the results of Radloff and Schwabe (Stat Papers 60:165–177, 2019) will be extended for a special class of symmetrical intensity functions. This includes binary response models with logit and probit link. To evaluate the position and the weights of the two non-degenerated orbits...

Improvements in technology lead to increasing availability of large data sets which makes the need for data reduction and informative subsamples ever more important. In this paper we construct D -optimal subsampling designs for polynomial regression in one covariate for invariant distributions...

The paper continues the authors’ work (Freise et al. The adaptive Wynn-algorithm in generalized linear models with univariate response. arXiv:1907.02708, 2019) on the adaptive Wynn algorithm in a nonlinear regression model. In the present paper the asymptotics of adaptive least squares...

In the common polynomial regression of degree m we determine the design which maximizes the minimum of the D-efficiency in the model of degree m and the D-efficiencies in the models of degree m – j,…, m + k (j, k 0 given). The resulting designs allow an efficient estimation of the...

We consider a class of optimality criteria and show that each crite- rion has its unique and equivalent dual within the class. This property can be used to find a variety of optimal designs, including a class of compound optimal designs and their relationships. As an example, we show that one...

This paper investigates the use of Design of Experiments in observational studies in order to select informative observations and features for classification. D-optimal plans are searched for in existing data and based on these plans the variables most relevant for classification are determined....

The Monod model is a classical microbiological model much used in microbiology, for example to evaluate biodegradation processes. The model describes microbial growth kinetics in batch culture experiments using three parameters: the maximal specific growth rate, the saturation constant and the...

A simplex-centroid design for q mixture components comprises of all possible subsets of the q components, present in equal proportions. The design does not contain full mixture blends except the overall centroid. In real-life situations, all mixture blends comprise of at least a minimum...
