Locally optimal designs for errors-in-variables models
变量测量误差模型的局部最优设计
We consider the construction of optimal designs for nonlinear regression models when there are measurement errors in the covariates. Corresponding approximate design theory is developed for maximum likelihood and least-squares estimation, with the latter leading to nonconcave optimization problems. Analytical characterizations of the locally D-optimal saturated designs are provided for the Michaelis–Menten, |$E_{\rm max}$| and exponential regression models. Through concrete…
