This book covers a wide range of topics in both discrete and continuous optimal designs. The topics discussed include designs for regression models, covariates models, models with trend effects, and models with competition effects. The prerequisites are a basic course in the design and analysis of experiments and some familiarity with the concepts of optimality criteria.

Scope of the Monograph * Optimal Regression Designs in Symmetric Domains * Optimal Regression Designs in Asymmetric Factor Domains * Optimal Regression Designs for Covariates' Models with Structured Intercept Parameter * Stochastic Distance Optimality * Designs in the Presence of Trends * Additional Selected Topics
