“…Optimal designs related to polynomials have also been studied extensively (e.g., de la Garza, 1954;Guest, 1958;Kiefer and Wolfowitz, 1959;Studden, 1966a, 1966b;Atwoad, 1969;Stigler, 1971;Kiefer and Studden, 1976;Studden, 1978Studden, , 1980Studden, , 1982. A very important characteristic of optimal design problems for polynomial regression is that the elements of M(%) are moments of the design measure.…”
