Abstract
We consider the construction of designs for exponential regression. The response function is an only approximately known function of a specified exponential function. As well, we allow for variance heterogeneity. We find minimax designs and corresponding optimal regression weights in the context of the following problems: (1) for nonlinear leastβsquares (LS) estimation with homoscedasticity, determine a design to minimize the maximum value of the integrated meanβsquared error (IMSE), with the maximum being evaluated for the possible departures from the response function; (2) for nonlinear LS estimation with heteroscedasticity, determine a design to minimize the maximum value of IMSE, with the maximum being evaluated over both types of departures; (3) for nonlinear weighted LS estimation, determine both weights and a design to minimize the maximum IMSE; and (4) choose weights and design points to minimize the maximum IMSE, subject to a side condition of unbiasedness. Solutions to (1)β(4) are given in complete generality. Copyright Β© 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Exact n-point designs are given which are D-optimum for a simple multiresponse model, where the individual response variables can be represented by first-order and second-order models. The present results complement recent findings by Krafft and Schaefer, who obtained D-optimum n-point designs for s
## Abstract We propose a robust Cox regression model with outliers. The model is fit by trimming the smallest contributions to the partial likelihood. To do so, we implement a Metropolisβtype maximization routine, and show its convergence to a global optimum. We discuss global robustness properties
