For run sizes that are a multiple of four, the literature offers many two-level designs that are D- and A-optimal for the main-effects model and minimize the aliasing between main effects and interaction effects and among interaction…
Locating arrays (LAs) can be used to detect and identify interaction faults among factors in a component-based system. The optimality and constructions of LAs with a single fault have been investigated extensively under the assumption that…
Many highly reliable products are designed to function for years without failure. For such systems accelerated degradation testing may provide significance information about the reliability properties of the system. In this paper, we…
Resolvable designs with two blocks per replicate are studied from an optimality perspective. Because in practice the number of replicates is typically less than the number of treatments, arguments can be based on the dual of the information…
This thesis is a study of large sets of unit vectors in $\cx^n$ such that the absolute value of their standard inner products takes on only a small number of values. We begin with bounds: what is the maximal size of a set of lines with only…
The dimension of a block design is the maximum positive integer $d$ such that any $d$ of its points are contained in a proper subdesign. Pairwise balanced designs PBD$(v,K)$ have dimension at least two as long as not all points are on the…
There have been some major advances in the theory of optimal designs for interference models. However, the majority of them focus on one-dimensional layout of the block and the study for two-dimensional interference model is quite limited…
Multilevel methods are among the most efficient numerical methods for solving large-scale systems of equations that arise from discretized partial differential equations. Two-level convergence theory plays a fundamental role in the analysis…
For paired comparison experiments involving competing options described by two-level attributes several different methods of constructing designs having block paired observations under the main effects model are presented. These designs are…
We are concerned with the problem of designing large families of subsets over a common labeled ground set that have small pairwise intersections and the property that the maximum discrepancy of the label values within each of the sets is…
Algorithms for machine learning-guided design, or design algorithms, use machine learning-based predictions to propose novel objects with desired property values. Given a new design task -- for example, to design novel proteins with high…
In experimental design, we are given $n$ vectors in $d$ dimensions, and our goal is to select $k\ll n$ of them to perform expensive measurements, e.g., to obtain labels/responses, for a linear regression task. Many statistical criteria have…
Sketch-and-solve (SAS) is a very successful method to efficiently estimate the solution of heavily overdetermined large linear least squares problems. It uses random sketching to reduce the size of the problem, hence reducing the…
This paper discusses the problem of determining optimal designs for regression models, when the observations are dependent and taken on an interval. A complete solution of this challenging optimal design problem is given for a broad class…
Accelerated degradation tests are used to provide accurate estimation of lifetime characteristics of highly reliable products within a relatively short testing time. Data from particular tests at high levels of stress (e.g., temperature,…
We consider a measurement constrained supervised learning problem, that is, (1) full sample of the predictors are given; (2) the response observations are unavailable and expensive to measure. Thus, it is ideal to select a subsample of…
Beyond-planarity focuses on combinatorial properties of classes of non-planar graphs that allow for representations satisfying certain local geometric or topological constraints on their edge crossings. Beside the study of a specific graph…
Factorial designs have broad applications in agricultural, engineering and scientific studies. In constructing and studying properties of factorial designs, traditional design theory treats all factors as nominal. However, this is not…
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…
