Abstract
Mitscherlich’s function is a well-known three-parameter non-linear
regression function that quantifies the relation between a
stimulus or a time variable and a response. It has many
applications, in particular in the field of measurement
reliability. Optimal designs for estimation of this function have
been constructed only for normally distributed responses with
homoscedastic variances. In this paper we generalize this
literature to D-optimal designs for discrete and continuous
responses having their distribution function in the exponential
family. We also demonstrate that our D-optimal designs can be
identical to and different from optimal designs for variance
weighted linear regression.
期刊介绍:
Mathematical Methods of Statistics is an is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the mathematical foundations of statistical theory. It primarily publishes research papers with complete proofs and, occasionally, review papers on particular problems of statistics. Papers dealing with applications of statistics are also published if they contain new theoretical developments to the underlying statistical methods. The journal provides an outlet for research in advanced statistical methodology and for studies where such methodology is effectively used or which stimulate its further development.
