Nonlinear regression models are extensively applied across various scientific disciplines. It is vital to accurately fit the optimal nonlinear model while considering the biases of the Bayesian optimal design. We present a Bayesian optimal design by utilising the Dirichlet process as a prior....

In this paper we construct simultaneous confidence bands for a smooth curve using penalized spline estimators. We consider three types of estimation methods: (i) as a standard (fixed effect) nonparametric model, (ii) using the mixed model framework with the spline coefficients as random effects...
