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.
