Despite the practical interest of the topic, namely in dose finding, algorithms for systematically calculating good plans are still elusive. Here, we consider the intersection-union principle for constructing optimal experimental designs for testing hypotheses about ordered treatments. We propose an optimization-based formulation to handle the problem when the power of the test is to be maximized. This formulation yields a complex objective function which we handle with a surrogate-based optimizer. The algorithm proposed is demonstrated for several ordering relations. The relationship between designs maximizing power for the intersection-union test (IUT) and optimality criteria used for linear regression models is analyzed; we demonstrate that IUT-based designs are well approximated by C-optimal designs and maximum entropy sampling designs while DA-optimal designs are equivalent to balanced designs. Theoretical and numerical results supporting these relations are presented. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/113715 | ISSN: | 0932-5026 1613-9798 |
