Improved Two Points Algorithm For D-optimal Design

  • Published : 1999.04.01

Abstract

To improve the slow convergence property of the steepest ascent type algorithm for continuous D-optimal design problems. we develop a new algorithm. We apply the nonlinear system of equations as the necessary condition of optimality and develop the two-point algorithm that solves the problem of clustering. Because of the nature of the steepest coordinate ascent algorithm avoiding the problem of clustering itself helps the improvement of convergence speed. The numerical examples show the performances of the new method is better than those of various steepest ascent algorithms.
