Abstract:
We develop locally D-optimal designs for nonlinear models when the variance of the response is a function of its mean. Using the two-parameter Michaelis-Menten model as an example, we show that the optimal design depends on both the type of heteroscedasticity and the magnitude of the variation. In addition, our results suggest that the homoscedastic D-optimal design has high efficiency under a broad class of heteroscedastic patterns and that it is fairly insensitive to nominal values of the parameters.

Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...
