1	An Arcsin Limit Theorem of D-Optimal Designs for Weighted Polynomial Regression Tsai, Jhong-Shin 10 June 2009 (has links) Consider the D-optimal designs for the dth-degree polynomial regression model with a bounded and positive weight function on a compact interval. As the degree of the model goes to infinity, we show that the D-optimal design converges weakly to the arcsin distribution. If the weight function is equal to 1, we derive the formulae of the values of the D-criterion for five classes of designs including (i) uniform density design; (ii) arcsin density design; (iii) J_{1/2,1/2} density design; (iv) arcsin support design and (v) uniform support design. The comparison of D-efficiencies among these designs are investigated; besides, the asymptotic expansions and limits of their D-efficiencies are also given. It shows that the D-efficiency of the arcsin support design is the highest among the first four designs. uniform support design Legendre polynomial Hankel matrix Jacobi polynomial D-optimal design Euler-Maclaurin summation formula D-Equivalence Theorem D-efficiency arcsin support design D-criterion arcsin distribution
