Optimal designs for regression models with a constant coefficient of variation

چکیده
In this paper we consider the problem of constructing optimal designs for models with a constant coefficient of variation. We explore the special structure of the information matrix in these models and derive a characterization of optimal designs in the sense of Kiefer and Wolfowitz (1960). Besides locally optimal designs, Bayesian and standardized minimax optimal designs are also considered. Particular attention is spent on the problem of constructing D-optimal designs. The results are illustrated in several examples where optimal designs are calculated analytically and numerically. Keyword and Phrases: optimal design; heteroscedasticity; constant coefficient of variation; polynomial regression AMS Subject Classification: 62K05

Spatial Varying Coefficient Regression Model For Relative Risk Factors of Esophageal Cancer Patients
In conventional methods for spatial survival data modeling, it is often assumed that the coefficients of explanatory variables in different regions have a constant effect on survival time. Usually, the spatial correlation of data through a random effect is also included in the model. But in many practical issues, the factors affecting survival time do not have the same effects in different regi...

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...
متن کاملOptimal flexible capacity in newsboy problem under stochastic demand and lead-time
In this paper, we consider a newsvendor who is going to invest on dedicated or flexible capacity, our goal is to find the optimal investment policy to maximize total profit while the newsvendor faces uncertainty in lead time and demand simultaneously. As highlighted in literature, demand is stochastic, while lead time is constant. However, in reality lead time uncertainty decreases newsvendor's...
