Resumen
This paper considers exponential and rational regression models that are nonlinear in some parameters. Recently, locally D-optimal designs for such models were investigated in [Melas, V. B., 2005. On the functional approach to optimal designs for nonlinear models. J. Statist. Plann. Inference 132, 93–116] based upon a functional approach. In this article a similar method is applied to construct maximin efficient D-optimal designs. This approach allows one to represent the support points of the designs by Taylor series, which gives us the opportunity to construct the designs by hand using tables of the coefficients of the series. Such tables are provided here for models with two nonlinear parameters. Furthermore, the recurrent formulas for constructing the tables for arbitrary numbers of parameters are introduced.
