In practice, optimal screening designs for arbitrary run sizes are traditionally generated using the D-criterion with factor settings fixed at +/- 1, even when considering continuous factors with levels in [-1, 1]. This paper identifies…
In this work we present the results of several simulations on main-effect factorial designs. The goal of such simulations is to investigate the connections between the $D$-optimality of a design and its geometrical structure. By means of a…
Modeling real processes often results in several suitable models. In order to be able to distinguish, or discriminate, which model best represents a phenomenon, one is interested, e.g., in so-called T-optimal designs. These consist of the…
We introduce a minor variant of the approximate D-optimal design of experiments with a more general information matrix that takes into account the representation of the design space S. The main motivation (and result) is that if S in R^d is…
Optimal designs are usually model-dependent and likely to be sub-optimal if the postulated model is not correctly specified. In practice, it is common that a researcher has a list of candidate models at hand and a design has to be found…
Subsampling is commonly used to overcome computational and economical bottlenecks in the analysis of finite populations and massive datasets. Existing methods are often limited in scope and use optimality criteria (e.g., A-optimality) with…
A simple yet efficient computational algorithm for computing the continuous optimal experimental design for linear models is proposed. An alternative proof the monotonic convergence for $D$-optimal criterion on continuous design spaces are…
Complete reliance on the fitted model in response surface experiments is risky and relaxing this assumption, whether out of necessity or intentionally, requires an experimenter to account for multiple conflicting objectives. This work…
We develop general theory for finding locally optimal designs in a class of single-covariate models under any differentiable optimality criterion. Yang and Stufken [Ann. Statist. 40 (2012) 1665-1681] and Dette and Schorning [Ann. Statist.…
In this paper we extend the results of Radloff and Schwabe (2018), which could be applied for example to Poisson regression, negative binomial regression and proportional hazard models with censoring, to a wider class of non-linear multiple…
The experimental design problem concerns the selection of k points from a potentially large design pool of p-dimensional vectors, so as to maximize the statistical efficiency regressed on the selected k design points. Statistical efficiency…
To avoid multicollinearity in regression analysis, Ye and Zhou(2013) proposed $K-$optimality criterion. By far the most popular models for modeling the response of a mixture experiment are the Scheff\'{e} models. However, there have been no…
Linear regression models are among the models most used in practice, although the practitioners are often not sure whether their assumed linear regression model is at least approximately true. In such situations, only designs for which the…
We show that the $A$-optimal design optimization problem over $m$ design points in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is equivalent to minimizing a quadratic function plus a group lasso sparsity inducing term over $n\times m$ real matrices. This observation…
We consider design issues for toxicology studies when we have a continuous response and the true mean response is only known to be a member of a class of nested models. This class of non-linear models was proposed by toxicologists who were…
To identify the robust settings of the control factors, it is very important to understand how they interact with the noise factors. In this article, we propose space-filling designs for computer experiments that are more capable of…
For computing efficient approximate designs of multifactor experiments, we propose a simple algorithm based on adaptive exploration of the grid of all combinations of factor levels. We demonstrate that the algorithm significantly…
Alphabetic optimality criteria, such as the $D$, $A$, and $I$ criteria, require specifying a model to select optimal designs. They are not model free and the optimal designs selected by them are not robust to model uncertainty. Recently,…
In a physical design problem, the designer chooses values of some physical parameters, within limits, to optimize the resulting field. We focus on the specific case in which each physical design parameter is the ratio of two field…
Tie-breaker designs trade off a statistical design objective with short-term gain from preferentially assigning a binary treatment to those with high values of a running variable $x$. The design objective is any continuous function of the…
