Optimal designs for the proportional interference model

Optimal Crossover Designs for the Proportional Model

In crossover design experiments, the proportional model, where the carryover effects are proportional to their direct treatment effects, has draw attentions in recent years. We discover that the universally optimal design under the traditional model is E-optimal design under the proportional model. Moreover, we establish equivalence theorems of Kiefer-Wolfowitz’s type for four popular optimalit...

Optimal designs for an interference model

Kunert and Martin (2000) determined optimal and efficient block designs in a model for field trials with interference effects, for block sizes up to 4. In this paper we use Kushner’s method (Kushner, 1997) of finding optimal approximate designs to extend the work of Kunert and Martin (2000) to optimal designs with five or more plots per block. We give an overall upper bound at,b,k for the trace...

Maximin Optimal Designs for the Compartmental Model

the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...

Model-sensitive sequential optimal designs

The increasing number of experimenters using computer-generated experimental designs creates an increasing need to have design procedures that are less sensitive to model misspecification. To address this problem, the notion of empirical models that have both important and potential terms is used. A two-stage design strategy for planning experiments in the face of model uncertainty is proposed....
