Optimal Incomplete Block Designs
Optimal incomplete block designs are pursued through the E-criterion of minimizing maximal variance. Methodology is developed for design choice based on graphs and an extensive catalog of downloadable designs compiled. Along with the general methodology, a near complete solution for E-optimal block designs is provided for up to 15 treatments. E-optimality is revealed as a flexible criterion tha...
متن کاملApproximate Optimal Designs for Multivariate Polynomial Regression
Abstract: We introduce a new approach aiming at computing approximate optimal designs for multivariate polynomial regressions on compact (semi-algebraic) design spaces. We use the moment-sum-of-squares hierarchy of semidefinite programming problems to solve numerically the approximate optimal design problem. The geometry of the design is recovered via semidefinite programming duality theory. Th...
متن کاملOptimal Foraging Theory Revisited
Optimal foraging theory explains adaptation via natural selection through quan-titative models. Behaviors that are most likely to be favored by natural selection canbe predicted by maximizing functions representing Darwinian fitness. Optimizationhas natural applications in engineering, and so this approach can also be used to de-sign behaviors of engineered agents. In this thesi...
متن کاملOptimal Cylindrical-block Designs for Correlated Observations
This paper addresses the problem of characterizations and constructions of optimal and efficient two-dimensional designs for generalized least squares estimation of treatment contrasts when the errors are correlated. Universally optimal designs are obtained when the plots of each block are on a cylinder and the errors follow the three parameter autonormal process on the cylinder. Efficiencies o...
متن کاملSome Optimal Codes From Designs
The binary and ternary codes spanned by the rows of the point by block incidence matrices of some 2-designs and their complementary and orthogonal designs are studied. A new method is also introduced to study optimal codes.
