In the present paper the concept of uncertain resources in experimental design is extended to situations in which the desire for additional information increases with the amount of experiments available. For a number of simple but relevant examples diierent strategies are compared and optimal designs are developed in the scope of the theory of generalized designs.

A broad range of parameter estimation problems involve the collection of an excessively large number of observations N . Typically each such observation involves excitation of the domain through injection of energy at some pre-defined sites and recording of the response of the domain at another set of locations. It has been observed that similar results can often be obtained by considering a fa...

This paper presents an optimal design for local communication between multiple mobile robots. In previous studies of local communication in multirobot systems, the area of communication was not designed using mathematical analysis, but only time-consuming simulations of multirobot communications. We analyzed the information transmission efficiency and created an optimal communication area that ...

When experiments are performed on social networks, it is difficult to justify the usual assumption of treatment-unit additivity, due to the connections between actors in the network. We investigate how connections between experimental units affect the design of experiments on those experimental units. Specifically, where we have unstructured treatments, whose effects propagate according to a li...

Feedback control schemes have been widely used in many engineering applications for a long time. Despite this, there has been very little work done on eecient design of experiments for modeling feedback control processes in order to select the appropriate feedback variables. This paper considers a general statistical formulation of this problem and studies the properties of optimal designs in t...

In this paper, a manipulability analysis of a new parallel-type rolling mill, named ‘‘paramill,’’ in its conceptual design stage is investigated. The paramill considered uses two Stewart platforms (SPs) in opposite directions for the generation of 6 degree-offreedom motions of individual work-rolls. The objective of this new approach is to pursue an integrated control of the strip thickness, st...

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...
