Some applications of weighing designs

Małgorzata Graczyk (2013)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

The purpose of this paper is to apply results on weighing designs to the setting of 2m factorial designs. Using weighing designs, we give some proposals for experimental plans. Relevant counterexamples are indicated. Also the results of a simulation study on the existence of weighing designs are presented.

Some D-optimal chemical balance weighing designs: theory and examples

Bronisław Ceranka, Małgorzata Graczyk (2017)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

In this paper we study a certain kind of experimental designs called chemical balance weighing designs. We consider issues with regard to determining optimality conditions. We give new classes of designs in which we are able to determine an optimal design. Moreover, examples are given for the presented cases.

D-optimal and highly D-efficient designs with non-negatively correlated observations

Krystyna Katulska, Łukasz Smaga (2016)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper we consider D-optimal and highly D-efficient chemical balance weighing designs. The errors are assumed to be equally non-negatively correlated and to have equal variances. Some necessary and sufficient conditions under which a design is D*-optimal design (regular D-optimal design) are proved. It is also shown that in many cases D*-optimal design does not exist. In many of those cases the designs constructed by Masaro and Wong (2008) and some new designs are shown to be...

Adaptive biased-coin designs for clinical trials with several treatments

Anthony C. Atkinson (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Adaptive designs are used in phase III clinical trials for skewing the allocation pattern towards the better treatments. We use optimum design theory to provide a skewed biased-coin procedure for sequential designs with continuous responses. The skewed designs are used to provide adaptive designs, the performance of which is studied numerically for designs with three treatments. Important properties are loss and the proportion of allocation to inferior treatments. Regularisation to provide...

Relations between regular A-optimal chemical and spring balance weighing designs with diagonal covariance matrix of errors

Bronisław Ceranka, Małgorzata Graczyk (2013)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

In this paper, we study the relationships between regular A-optimal spring balance weighing designs and regular A-optimal chemical balance weighing designs. We give the basic relation between these designs in the case where the errors are uncorrelated and they have different variances. We give some examples of methods of construction of such designs.

A note on the D-optimality and D-efficiency of nonorthogonal blocked main effects plans

Łukasz Smaga (2016)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

This paper considers main effects plans used to study m two-level factors using n runs which are partitioned into b blocks of equal size k = n/b. The assumptions are adopted that n ≡ 2 (mod 8) and k > 2 is even. Certain designs not having all main effects orthogonal to blocks were shown by Jacroux (2011a) to be D-optimal when (m − 2)(k − 2) + 2 ⩽ n ⩽ (m − 1)(k − 2) + 2. Here, we extend that result. For (m − 3)(k − 2) + 2 ⩽ n < (m − 2)(k − 2) + 2, the D-optimality of those designs...

D-optimal cyclic two-dimensional block designs.

Jagdish N. Srivastava, A. M. Wijetunga (1983)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a class of incomplete block designs in which every block is two dimensional. Thus heterogeneity is removed not only between blocks, but also in two directions within each block. Such designs have been considered before in Srivastava (1977,1978). Here, we consider the class of cyclic designs of this type when the number of treatments ν is an odd number between 5 and 25, and present designs that are D-optimal within this class.

Evaluation of experimental designs in durum wheat trials

Anastasios Katsileros, Christos Koukouvinos (2015)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

Variability among experimental plots may be a relevant problem in field genotype experiments, especially when a large number of entries are involved. Four field trials on 24 durum wheat genotypes were conducted in 2013/14 in order to evaluate the efficiency of Incomplete Block, Alpha and Augmented designs in comparison with the traditional Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The results showed that the RCBD can be replaced by an Alpha design, which provides better control of variability...

Optimal chemical balance weighing designs for v + 1 objects

Bronisław Ceranka, Małgorzata Graczyk (2003)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The paper studies the estimation problem of individual weights of objects using a chemical balance weighing design under the restriction on the number times in which each object is weighed. Conditions under which the existence of an optimum chemical balance weighing design for p = v objects implies the existence of an optimum chemical balance weighing design for p = v + 1 objects are given. The existence of an optimum chemical balance weighing design for p = v + 1 objects implies the existence of an optimum...

A unified terminology in block designs

Tadeusz Caliński, Sanpei Kageyama (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Partially efficiency balanced (PEB) designs with m efficiency classes have been defined by Puri and Nigam [15] as block designs which have simple analysis and, if properly used, allow the important contrasts to be estimated with desired efficiency. Such designs can be made available in varying replications and/or unequal block sizes. However, any block design is a PEB design with m efficiency classes for some m < v, where v is the number of treatments in the design. So the term "PEB"...

Some observations on the constructions of chemical balance weighing designs

Ratnakaram Nava Mohan, Bronisław Ceranka, Sanpei Kageyama (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The construction of some optimum chemical balance weighing designs from affine μ-resolvable balanced incomplete block (BIB) designs are discussed in the light of a characterization theorem on the parameters of affine μ-resolvable BIB designs as given by Mohan and Kageyama (1982), for the sake of practical use of researchers who need some selective designs for the construction of chemical balance weighing designs.

The target of this paper is to provide a compact review of the Optimal Experimental Design, the continuous case. Therefore we are referring to the general nonlinear problem in comparison to the linear one.
