Methodology 2010-02-26 v1 Computation

Abstract

We study a class of multiplicative algorithms introduced by Silvey et al. (1978) for computing D-optimal designs. Strict monotonicity is established for a variant considered by Titterington (1978). A formula for the rate of convergence is also derived. This is used to explain why modifications considered by Titterington (1978) and Dette et al. (2008) usually converge faster.
