Exact Optimal Designs for Weighted Least Squares Analysis with Correlated Errors
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the common linear and quadratic regression model with an autoregressive error structure exact D-optimal designs for weighted least squares analysis are determined. It is demonstrated that for highly correlated observations the Doptimal design is close to the equally spaced design. Moreover, the equally spaced design is usually very efficient, even for moderate sizes of the correlation, while the D-optimal design obtained under the assumptions of independent observations yields a substantial loss in efficiency. We also consider the problem of designing experiments for weighted least squares estimation of the slope in a linear regression and compare the exact D-optimal designs for weighted and ordinary least squares analysis.

Optimal designs for the Michaelis Menten model with correlated observations
In this paper we investigate the problem of designing experiments for weighted least squares analysis in the Michaelis Menten model. We study the structure of exact D-optimal designs in a model with an autoregressive error structure. Explicit results for locally D-optimal are derived for the case where 2 observations can be taken per subject. Additionally standardized maximin D-optimal designs ...
متن کاملOptimal designs for random effect models with correlated errors with applications in population pharmacokinetics
We consider the problem of constructing optimal designs for population pharmacokinetics which use random effect models. It is common practice in the design of experiments in such studies to assume uncorrelated errors for each subject. In the present paper a new approach is introduced to determine efficient designs for nonlinear least squares estimation which addresses the problem of correlation...

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 کاملOptimal Linear Estimation Fusion—Part III: Cross-Correlation of Local Estimation Errors
The knowledge of the cross correlation of the errors of local estimates is needed in many techniques for distributed fusion. In fact, this cross covariance is a key quantity for the best linear unbiased estimation (BLUE), also known as linear minimum mean-square error (LMMSE) estimation, and optimal weighted least squares (WLS) fusion rules presented in Part I [8]. This paper presents exact, ex...
