An Introduction to Optimal Designs

Victor Ignacio López & Rogelio Ramos

 

Abstract                 

We introduce several concepts used in optimal experimental design. Optimality criteria used in this area are defined and their properties are explored. Some important results for finding optimal designs in linear and nonlinear models are listed, specially equivalence theorems are formulated. Finally, we present some examples where that theory is applied.

 

Key words: Information function, Information matrix, Optimality criteria, Equivalence theorems, Nonlinear regression models.
