Abstract

We prove a mathematical programming characterization of approximate partial D-optimality under general linear constraints. We use this characterization with a branch-and-bound method to compute a list of all exact D-optimal designs for estimating a pair of treatment contrasts in the presence of a nuisance time trend up to the size of 24 consecutive trials.

Notes

  1. 1.

    If 𝒞(A)⊆𝒞(M), then A T M A does not depend on the choice of the generalized inverse of M.
