Efficient experimental designs for sigmoidal growth models
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the Weibulland Richards-regression model robust designs are determined by maximizing a minimum of Dor D1-efficiencies, taken over a certain range of the non-linear parameters. It is demonstrated that the derived designs yield a satisfactory solution of the optimal design problem for this type of model in the sense that these designs are efficient and robust with respect to misspecification of the unknown parameters. Moreover, the designs can also be used for testing the postulated form of the regression model against a simplified sub-model. AMS Subject Classification: 62K05

A New Robust Design Strategy for Sigmoidal Models Based on Model Nesting
For a given process, researchers often have a specific nonlinear model in mind and perhaps a reasonable initial estimate of the p model parameters. In this situation, optimal design-theory produces designs which typically have only p support points even when the final sample size (n) is chosen to exceed the number of parameters. Since p-point designs assume that the model function is known with...
متن کاملToward the Development of a Robust Kinetic Model for the Cobalt Fischer-Tropsch Catalyst Lifetime Using a Novel Sigmoidal Pattern
Although catalyst deactivation rate greatly varies depending on many factors, including the catalyst structure, reactor feed composition, and operating conditions; it is usually inevitable. Since catalyst deactivation modeling has so far been poorly addressed in the literature, in the present study, nine experimental sets of cobalt based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts activity-time data were conside...
متن کاملNew Stilling Basins Designs for Deep Rectangular Outlets
The experimental study reported here is intended to evolve new designs of stilling basins for deep and narrow openings used as outlets. Several appurtenances such as grid, Impact wall, stepped wall, weir wall, sloping end sill and wedge shaped blocks are used to study their influence on the hydraulic performance of the stilling basins with an aim to propose efficient stilling basin models. All ...
متن کاملA D-Optimal Design for Estimation of Parameters of an Exponential-Linear Growth Curve of Nanostructures
We consider the problem of determining an optimal experimental design for estimation of parameters of a class of complex curves characterizing nanowire growth that is partially exponential and partially linear. Locally D-optimal designs for some of the models belonging to this class are obtained by using a geometric approach. Further, a Bayesian sequential algorithm is proposed for obtaining D-...
متن کاملNonparametric Regression Estimation for Nonlinear Systems: A Case Study of Sigmoidal Growths
Sigmoidal growths are well approximated by the non-linear sigmoidal growth models including Richards (1959) Morgan et al (1975), Davies and Ku (1977) and Muller et al (2006) among many others. This article deals with the comparison of the nonparametric regression with the non-linear regression models in order to locate the better approximation for sigmoidal growths. To unwind the standard assum...
