D-optimal chemical balance weighing designs with positively correlated errors: part II
Summary Some questions related to the problem of determining a chemical balance weighing design satisfying the criterion of D-optimality are considered. The theory is based on the assumption that the measurements are equally positively correlated and have the same variances. In this paper, we present a method of adding three measurements to a regular D-optimal chemical balance weighing designs to obtain a highly D-efficient chemical balance weighing design. The problem formulated in this way is an extension of results contained in a paper previously published in Biometrical Letters.
Estimation of Unknown Object Measures in a Chemical Weighing Design with Correlated Errors
In this paper, some problems that concern the determining of unknown measurements of objects in the model of a chemical balance weighing design are presented. These designs are tested under the assumption that measurement errors are correlated and have the same variances. The relations between the parameters of a weighing design are considered from the point of view of the D-optimality criterion. We give some conditions determining the dependencies between the parameters of such designs and construction examples.
A study of the efficiency of chemical balance weighing designs
Abstract Some elements concerning the problem of determining chemical balance designs are considered. A method is presented for determining the best design in classes where no D-optimal design exists. In this case, we obtain a design that is highly D-efficient. The efficiency of such a design is presented as a function of the number of parameters and measurements, and its properties are studied. Charts showing the efficiency function for selected classes of designs are presented.
