There is an increasing need to rein in the cost of scientific study
without sacrificing accuracy in statistical inference. Optimal
design is the judicious allocation of resources to achieve the
objectives of studies using minimal cost via careful statistical
planning. Researchers and practitioners in various fields of
applied science are now beginning to recognize the advantages and
potential of optimal experimental design. "Applied Optimal Designs"
is the first book to catalogue the application of optimal design to
real problems, documenting its widespread use across disciplines as
diverse as drug development, education and ground water modelling.
Includes contributions covering: Bayesian design for measuring
cerebral blood-flow Optimal designs for biological models Computer
adaptive testing Ground water modelling Epidemiological studies and
pharmacological models
"Applied Optimal Designs" bridges the gap between theory and
practice, drawing together a selection of incisive articles from
reputed collaborators. Broad in scope and inter-disciplinary in
appeal, this book highlights the variety of opportunities available
through the use of optimal design. The wide range of applications
presented here should appeal to statisticians working with optimal
designs, and to practitioners new to the theory and concepts
involved.
