The Use of Prior Distributions in the Design of Experiments for Parameter Estimation in Non-linear Situations

Résumé du livre

When prior information is available on the parameters of a nonlinear model, it should influence the choice of the appropriate experimental design. The authors investigate, for the multiresponse case, how prior information on the parameters in the form of a multivariate normal distribution can be used in selecting designs for parameter estimation. An example illustrates how the precision of the prior knowledge can affect the positioning of the design points. (Author).
