Sequentially Generated Second Order Quasi D-Optimal Designs for Experiments With Mixture and Process Variables

Second order designs for experiments with mixture and process variables are proposed. They are constructed on the basis of continuous D-optimal designs by use of a three-stage procedure for sequentially generating optimal designs. The determinants of the information matrices of the designs obtained are very near to those of continuous D-optimal designs. Tables of discrete quasi D-optimal designs for q + r ≤ 7 are given, where q is the number of mixture components and r is the number of process variables. The experimenter can choose the number of trials N within the interval k ≤ N ≤ min(2k, k + 20), where k is the number of model coefficients. An application of the proposed designs in an investigation of truck tire properties is given.
