Some optimal designs for interpolation and extrapolation
Imperial College London
Designs are given for minimizing the effect of random error in interpolation or extrapolation. The case most intensively studied is that for first-degree polynomial models in k factors, although some results are given also for second-degree models. Emphasis is put on designs giving minimum variance at a particular point and satisfying additional requirements such as leading to good estimates of parameters.
