Optimum experimental designs for models with a skewed error distribution : with an application to stochastic frontier models

In this thesis, optimum experimental designs for a statistical model possessing a skewed error distribution are considered, with particular interest in investigating possible parameter dependence of the optimum designs. The skewness in the distribution of the error arises from its assumed structure....
