Optimal Designs for Longitudinal and Functional Data
纵向数据与函数型数据的最优设计
Summary We propose novel optimal designs for longitudinal data for the common situation where the resources for longitudinal data collection are limited, by determining the optimal locations in time where measurements should be taken. As for all optimal designs, some prior information is needed to implement the optimal designs proposed. We demonstrate that this prior information may come from a pilot longitudinal study that has irregularly measured and noisy measurements,…
