SOME RESULTS ON OPTIMAL ALLOCATION IN TWO-STEP SEQUENTIAL DESIGN Roland Gautier, Luc Pronzato Les Algorithmes - Bâtiment Euclide 2000, route des Lucioles, Sophia Antipolis, F - 06410 BIOT, France |
In nonlinear situations, optimal experimental conditions generally depend upon unknown parameters to be estimated from the data collected during the experiments. A natural approach then consists in designing the experiments sequentially, that is, alternating estimation and design phases. We consider the determination of the optimal allocation of the resource between two design steps when the design strategies at each step are fixed.
