Abstract

Usually, line search algorithms begin by an initial guess of the starting point. However, for quick convergence and reduction in computational cost, it is necessary to determine an optimal starting point. In this paper, comparison of three starting points for the generation of second-order \(D-\) optimal designs using a variance-gradient based exchange algorithm is considered. Quantile plots are used to compare the variances of \(D-\)optimal designs generated by each of the three starting points. Result obtained reveals that an optimal choice of the starting point improves \(D-\)efficiency of the generated design points.

Les algorithmes de recherche en ligne commençent par un point donné et il est souhaitable de déterminer ce point de maniére optimale afin d'assurer une convergence plus rapide et de réduire le coût de calculs. Dans ce papier, nous comparons trois méthodes de détermination de trois points de départ pour la génération de second ordre \(D-\) dans un design optimal, utilisant une méthode de variance-gradient. Des études de simulations illustrent notre méthode.
