Locally D-optimal Designs Based on a Class of Composed Models Resulted from Blending
نویسنده
چکیده
A class of nonlinear models combining a pharmacokinetic compartmental model and a pharmacodynamic Emax model is introduced. The locally D-optimal (LD) design for a four-parameter composed model is found to be a saturated four-point uniform LD design with the two boundary points of the design space in the LD design support. For a five-parameter composed model, a sufficient condition for the LD design to require the minimum number of sampling time points is derived. Robust LD designs are also investigated for both models. It is found that an LD design with k parameters is equivalent to an LD design with k− 1 parameters if the linear parameter in the two composed models is a nuisance parameter. Assorted examples of LD designs are presented.

Identifying locally optimal designs for nonlinear models: A simple extension with profound consequences
We extend the approach in Yang (2010) for identifying locally optimal designs for nonlinear models. Conceptually the extension is relatively simple, but the consequences in terms of applications are profound. As we will demonstrate, we can now study locally optimal designs for a much larger class of models than hitherto.
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 کاملNew Optimal Observer Design Based on State Prediction for a Class of Non-linear Systems Through Approximation
This paper deals with the optimal state observer of non-linear systems based on a new strategy. Despite the development of state prediction in linear systems, state prediction for non-linear systems is still challenging. In this paper, to obtain a future estimation of the system states, initially Taylor series expansion of states in their receding horizons was achieved to any specified order an...
متن کاملOptimal Designs for Rational Models and Weighted Polynomial Regression by Holger Dette,
In this paper D-optimal designs for the weighted polynomial regresŽ 2 . n sion model of degree p with efficiency function 1 x are presented. Interest in these designs stems from the fact that they are equivalent to locally D-optimal designs for inverse quadratic polynomial models. For the unrestricted design space and p n, the D-optimal designs put equal masses on p 1 points which coincide with...
متن کاملOn Rank-Ordered Nested Multinomial Logit Model and D-Optimal Design for this Model
In contrast to the classical discrete choice experiment, the respondent in a rank-order discrete choice experiment, is asked to rank a number of alternatives instead of the preferred one. In this paper, we study the information matrix of a rank order nested multinomial logit model (RO.NMNL) and introduce local D-optimality criterion, then we obtain Locally D-optimal design for RO.NMNL models in...
