Optimum Designs for Estimation of Optimum Amount and Proportions in a Mixture-Amount Model

This article studies a mixture-amount model, which is quadratic both in the proportions of mixing components and the amount of mixture. Using the pseudo-Bayesian approach of Pal and Mandal (2006 Pal , M. , Mandal , N. K. ( 2006 ). Optimum designs for optimum mixtures . Statist. Probab. Lett. 76 : 1369 – 1379 .Crossref], Web of Science ®] , Google Scholar]), it attempts to find the A-optimal design for the estimation of the optimum mixing proportions and the optimum amount.
