The Nu Class of Low-Degree-Truncated, Rational, Generalized Functions. Ia. MINOS for IMSPE Evaluation and Optimal-IMSPE-Design Search

Abstract

We provide compact algebraic expressions that replace the lengthy symbolic-algebra-generated integrals I6 and I8 in Part I of this series of papers [1]. The MRSE entries of Part I, Table 4.3 are thus updated to simpler algebraic expressions. We use MINOS [2-4] to tabulate several IMSPE-optimal designs with one factor and one or two design points, for the exponential-, two of the Mat\'ern-, and the Gaussian-correlation functions, i.e. for the class of problems considered in Part I. The tabulated results can be used as standards for optimal-design-software developers and users.
