Abstract

Applying Bayesian optimal design principles is not easy when a prior distribution is not certain. We present a optimal design criterion which possibly yield a reasonably good design and also robust with respect to misspecification of the prior distributions. The criterion is applied to the problem of estimating the turning point of a quadratic regression. Exact mathematical results are presented under certain conditions on prior distributions. Computational results are given for some cases not satisfying our conditions.
