β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents D-optimal experimental designs for a variety of non-linear models which depend on an arbitrary number of covariates but assume a positive prior mean and a Fisher information matrix satisfying particular properties. It is argued that these optimal designs can be regarded as a ΓΏrst-order approximation of the asymptotic increase of Shannon information. The e ciency of this approximation is compared in some examples, which show how the results can be further used to compute the Bayesian optimal design, when the approximate solution is not accurate enough.

The G-optimal first order (weighing) design with k factor,s and N observations is examined. It is shown that for N =-1 (rood 4), k < N -1, the G-0ritual design is also D-optimal, whenever a Hadamard matrix of order N-I exists. The same is true for the saturated designs with N=5, 13,25 It is also sho
