On a hybrid experimental design
In the paper a usual block design with treatment effects fixed and block effects random is considered. To compare experimental design the asymptotic covariance matrix of a robust estimator proposed by Bednarski and Zontek (1996) for simultaneous estimation of shift and scale parameters is used. Asymptotically A- and D- optimal block designs in the class of designs with bounded block sizes are characterized.
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.
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 objects implies the existence of an optimum chemical balance weighing design for objects are given. The existence of an optimum chemical balance weighing design for objects implies the existence of an optimum chemical...
