Abstract
This paper discusses the optimal design problem for the hierarchical linear model with intraclass positive correlation. A-optimal designs are considered for the estimation of the fixed effects as well as the prediction of random effects. We provide two equivalence theorems to determine the A-optimality of a given design. Two illustrative examples of the A-optimal designs are presented.
