Optimal discrimination designs
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the problem of constructing optimal designs for model discrimination between competing regression models. Various new properties of optimal designs with respect to the popular T -optimality criterion are derived, which in many circumstances allow an explicit determination of T -optimal designs. It is also demonstrated, that in nested linear models the number of support points of T -optimal designs is usually too small to estimate all parameters in the extended model. In many cases T -optimal designs are usually not unique, and we give a characterization of all T -optimal designs. Finally, T -optimal designs are compared with optimal discriminating designs with respect to alternative criteria by means of a small simulation study.

Constrained optimal discrimination designs for Fourier regression models
In this article, the problem of constructing efficient discrimination designs in a Fourier regression model is considered. We propose designs which maximize the power of the F-test, which discriminates between the two highest order models, subject to the constraints that the tests that discriminate between lower order models have at least some given relative power. A complete solution is presen...
متن کاملUsing Kullback-Leibler distance for performance evaluation of search designs
This paper considers the search problem, introduced by Srivastava cite{Sr}. This is a model discrimination problem. In the context of search linear models, discrimination ability of search designs has been studied by several researchers. Some criteria have been developed to measure this capability, however, they are restricted in a sense of being able to work for searching only one possibl...
متن کاملOptimal Discrimination Designs for Exponential Regression Models
We investigate optimal designs for discriminating between exponential regression models of different complexity, which are widely used in the biological sciences; see, e.g., Landaw (1995) or Gibaldi and Perrier (1982). We discuss different approaches for the construction of appropriate optimality criteria, and find sharper upper bounds on the number of support points of locally optimal discrimi...
متن کاملA Semi-Infinite Programming based algorithm for determining T-optimum designs for model discrimination
T-optimum designs for model discrimination are notoriously difficult to find because of the computational difficulty involved in solving an optimization problem that involves two layers of optimization. Only a handful of analytical T-optimal designs are available for the simplest problems; the rest in the literature are found using specialized numerical procedures for a specific problem. We pro...
متن کاملCriterion-robust Optimal Designs for Model Discrimination and Parameter Estimation: Multivariate Polynomial Regression Case
Consider the problem of discriminating between two polynomial regression models on the q-cube [−1, 1] , q ≥ 2, and estimating parameters in the models. To find designs which are efficient for both model discrimination and parameter estimation, Zen and Tsai (2002) proposed a multiple-objective optimality criterion for the univariate case. In this work, taking the same Mγ-criterion which uses wei...
