Optimal designs for estimating the slope of a regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the common linear regression model we consider the problem of designing experiments for estimating the slope of the expected response in a regression. We discuss locally optimal designs, where the experimenter is only interested in the slope at a particular point, and standardized minimax optimal designs, which could be used if precise estimation of the slope over a given region is required. General results on the number of support points of locally optimal designs are derived if the regression functions form a Chebyshev system. For polynomial regression and Fourier regression models of arbitrary degree the optimal designs for estimating the slope of the regression are determined explicitly for many cases of practical interest. Keyword phrases: locally optimal design, standardized minimax optimal design, estimating derivatives, polynomial regression, Fourier regression AMS Subject Classification: Primary 62K05

Optimal designs for estimating the slope in nonlinear regression
We consider the problem of estimating the slope of the expected response in nonlinear regression models. It is demonstrated that in many cases the optimal designs for estimating the slope are either on k or k − 1 points, where k denotes a number of unknown parameters in the model. It is also shown that the support points and weights of the optimal designs are analytic functions, and this result...
متن کاملA HYBRID SUPPORT VECTOR REGRESSION WITH ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM IN ESTIMATION OF SAFETY FACTOR FOR CIRCULAR FAILURE SLOPE
Slope stability is one of the most complex and essential issues for civil and geotechnical engineers, mainly due to life and high economical losses resulting from these failures. In this paper, a new approach is presented for estimating the Safety Factor (SF) for circular failure slope using hybrid support vector regression (SVR) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). The ACO is combined with the S...
متن کاملFinite Sample Properties of Quantile Interrupted Time Series Analysis: A Simulation Study
Interrupted Time Series (ITS) analysis represents a powerful quasi-experime-ntal design in which a discontinuity is enforced at a specific intervention point in a time series, and separate regression functions are fitted before and after the intervention point. Segmented linear/quantile regression can be used in ITS designs to isolate intervention effects by estimating the sudden/level change (...
متن کاملGeneralized Resolution and Minimum Aberration for Nonregular Fractional Factorial Designs
Seeking the optimal design with a given number of runs is a main problem in fractional factorial designs(FFDs). Resolution of a design is the most widely usage criterion, which is introduced by Box and Hunter(1961), used to be employed to regular FFDs. The resolution criterion is extended to non-regular FFG, called the generalized resolution criterion. This criterion is providing the idea of ge...
متن کاملOptimal Designs for Estimating Pairs of Coefficients in Fourier Regression Models
In the common Fourier regression model we investigate the optimal design problem for estimating pairs of the coefficients, where the explanatory variable varies in the interval [−π, π]. L-optimal designs are considered and for many important cases L-optimal designs can be found explicitly, where the complexity of the solution depends on the degree of the trigonometric regression model and the o...
