Optimality Criteria for Design of Crossbreeding Experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the influential work of Dickerson (1969), there has been considerable discussion of design of crossbreeding experiments, but little detailed treatment of optimisation. Recently, Cunningham and Connolly (1989) and Soelkner and James (1990) have discussed this question, but have used different optimality criteria. Connolly and Cunningham used the sum of sampling variances of estimators, while Soelkner and James used the generalised variance of the estimators. Here we compare these, and a third criterion, for evaluation of a range of designs of a cattle crossbreeding experiment.

متن کاملOptimal Design of Geometrically Nonlinear Structures Under a Stability Constraint
This paper suggests an optimization-based methodology for the design of minimum weight structures with kinematic nonlinear behavior. Attention is focused on three-dimensional reticulated structures idealized with beam elements under proportional static loadings. The algorithm used for optimization is based on a classical optimality criterion approach using an active-set strategy for extreme lim...
متن کاملEquivalence theorem for Schur optimality of experimental designs
An experimental design is said to be Schur optimal, if it is optimal with respect to the class of all Schur isotonic criteria, which includesKiefer’s criteria of p-optimality, distance optimality criteria andmany others. In the paper we formulate an easily verifiable necessary and sufficient condition for Schur optimality in the set of all approximate designs of a linear regression experiment w...
متن کاملNear-Optimal Design of Experiments via Regret Minimization
We consider computationally tractable methods for the experimental design problem, where k out of n design points of dimension p are selected so that certain optimality criteria are approximately satisfied. Our algorithm finds a (1 + ε)approximate optimal design when k is a linear function of p; in contrast, existing results require k to be super-linear in p. Our algorithm also handles all popu...
متن کاملCriteria for optimal design of small-sample experiments with correlated observations
We consider observations of a random process (or a random field), which is modeled by a nonlinear regression with a parametrized mean (or trend) and a parametrized covariance function. Optimality criteria for parameter estimation are to be based here on the mean square errors (MSE) of estimators. We mention briefly expressions obtained for very small samples via probability densities of estimat...
