Abstract:
The investigation focuses on optimal design issues related to the comparison of regression curves within the framework of the Copula model. The
μp-optimal is defined for comparing regression curves using a bivariate Copula model.An equivalence theorem is established using directional derivative.This theorem provides a theoretical foundation for solving and verifying
μp-optimal designs. As an example, the study considers a scenario where marginal regression curves are modeled as low-order polynomial functions. The errors are assumed to follow a Gaussian distribution. The joint distribution is specified using a bivariate Gaussian Copula.Solutions for the
μ1-optimal design and the
μ∞-optimal design are derived. These results demonstrate the practical utility of the equivalence theorem in optimal design problems.
