On entropy optimality of orthogonal design
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...
In this paper we study the estimation problem of individual measurements (weights) of objects in a model of chemical balance weighing design with diagonal variance - covariance matrix of errors under the restriction k₁ + k₂ < p, where k₁ and k₂ represent the number of objects placed on the right and left pans, respectively. We want all variances of estimated measurments to be equal and attaining their lower bound. We give a necessary and sufficient condition under which this lower bound is attained...
