We investigate optimal designs for discriminating between exponential regression models of different complexity, which are widely used in the biological sciences; see, e.g., Landaw (1995) or Gibaldi and Perrier (1982). We discuss different approaches for the construction of appropriate...

For the binary response model, we determine optimal designs which are robust wit respect to the misspecifications of the unknown parameters. We propose a maximin approach and provide a numerical method to identify the best two point designs for the commonly applied link functions. This method is...

In this paper we investigate locally E- and c-optimal designs for exponential regression models of the form _k i=1 ai exp(??ix). We establish a numerical method for the construction of efficient and locally optimal designs, which is based on two results. First we consider the limit ?i ? ? and...
