Abstract

A class of model-robust optimal designs, based on an extension of the standard optimality criteria to cases where there exist some prior information on the validity of a response function, is considered. Under this set-up, the concept of the "model validity range" is introduced and explored. A necessary condition for optimality is obtained for the determinant criterion (D-optimality in the classical case). A modified version of this criterion is proposed and discussed. The corresponding results provide upper and low bounds for the original problem and help to construct approximate solutions, when contamination is relatively small. Optimal designs for simple but commonly used regression models are obtained and studied.
