Optimal design for quasi-likelihood estimation in Poisson regression with random coefficients

Abstract Count data may be described by a Poisson regression model. If random coefficients are involved, maximum likelihood is not feasible and alternative estimation methods have to be employed. For the approach based on quasi-likelihood estimation a characterization of design optimality is derived and optimal designs are determined numerically for an example with random slope parameters.
