Title: On the Role of Minimum Variances in Weighted Optimal Designs
Author(s): Katherine Allen-Moyer* and Jon Stallrich
Companies: North Carolina State University and North Carolina State
Keywords: Weighted Optimality; A-optimality; Factorial Experiment; Experimental Design
Abstract:

Weighted optimality criteria allow an experimenter to express hierarchical interest in minimizing variances of estimable functions through a concise weighting system. In this talk, we show how the estimable functions' minimum variances can significantly influence the construction and evaluation of weighted optimal designs. We give a new expression for the weighted A-criterion that involves these minimum variances and show how it helps guide weight selection. We then demonstrate a practical, exploratory approach to weighted design generation and evaluation with factorial experiments.
