Numerical Construction of Parameter Maximin D-Optimal Designs for Binary Response Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the binary response model, we determine optimal designs based on the D-optimal criterion which are robust with respect to misspecifications of the unknown parameters. We propose a maximin approach and provide a numerical method to identify the best two point designs for the commonly applied link functions. This method is broadly applicable and can be extended to designs with a given number (≥ 2) of support points and further link functions. The results are illustrated for the logistic and probit model, for which several examples of maximin D-optimal designs are calculated explicitly by our method.

Bayesian and maximin optimal designs for heteroscedastic regression models
The problem of constructing standardized maximin D-optimal designs for weighted polynomial regression models is addressed. In particular it is shown that, by following the broad approach to the construction of maximin designs introduced recently by Dette, Haines and Imhof (2003), such designs can be obtained as weak limits of the corresponding Bayesian Φq-optimal designs. The approach is illust...
متن کاملOptimal Designs for Free Knot Least Squares Splines
In this paper D-optimal designs for free knot least squares spline estimation are investigated. In contrast to most of the literature on optimal design for spline regression models it is assumed that the knots of the spline are also estimated from the data, which yields to optimal design problems for nonlinear models. In some cases local D-optimal designs can be found explicitly. Moreover, it i...
متن کاملOn the number of support points of maximin and Bayesian D-optimal designs in nonlinear regression models
We consider maximin and Bayesian D-optimal designs for nonlinear regression models. The maximin criterion requires the specification of a region for the nonlinear parameters in the model, while the Bayesian optimality criterion assumes that a prior distribution for these parameters is available. It was observed empirically by many authors that an increase of uncertainty in the prior information...
متن کاملHighly Efficient Designs to Handle the Incorrect Specification of Linear Mixed Models
We apply a maximin criterion to examine the relative-efficiency (RE) of several Dq-optimal designs for a family of linear-mixed models. Incorrect specifications of the polynomial degree, size of the autocorrelation parameter, number of random parameters, and the correlation between random intercept and random slope are investigated. We found that the maximin Dq-optimal design encountered is hig...
متن کاملOptimal Designs for 2 Factorial Experiments with Binary Response
We consider the problem of obtaining D-optimal designs for factorial experiments with a binary response and k qualitative factors each at two levels. We obtain a characterization of locally D-optimal designs. We then develop efficient numerical techniques to search for locally D-optimal designs. Using prior distributions on the parameters, we investigate EW D-optimal designs that maximize the d...
