The Design of a Quantal Response Experiment: An Empirical Approach

Abstract

An important issue in quantal response estimation problems considered by Mazzuchi and Singpurwalla is the design of the experiment. The objective there was to estimate the probability of response for a given stimulus, but due to the expense of the items, testing has to be kept to a minimum. As a continuation of the work by Mazzuchi and Singpurwalla (1982), this paper addresses the problem and presents a criterion for comparing several designs that are of interest.
