In the common linear regression model we consider the problem of designing experiments for estimating the slope of the expected response in a regression. We discuss locally optimal designs, where the experimenter is only interested in the slope at a particular point, and standardized minimax...

In this paper we study the spatial and temporal distribution of the wind and hydro resources, together with electricity demand and prices, with the objective to gain insights on the trade-offs of developing wind power in different parts of the country. It is particularly important to understand...

This article presents discussions on the optimal and robust designs for trigonometric regression models under different optimality criteria. First, we investigate the classical Q-optimal designs for estimating the response function in a full trigonometric regression model with a given order. The...

Using sine and cosine terms as predictors in modeling periodic time series and other kinds of periodic responses is a long-established technique, but it is often overlooked in many courses or textbooks. Such trigonometric regression is straightforward in Stata through applications of existing...

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...

We consider the common nonlinear regression model where the variance as well as the mean is a parametric function of the explanatory variables. The c-optimal design problem is investigated in the case when the parameters of both the mean and the variance function are of interest. A geometric...
