Robustness optimal spring balance weighing designs for estimation total weight

Bronisław Ceranka and Małgorzata Graczyk

Abstract:

In this paper we develop the theory of spring balance weighing designs with non-positive correlated errors for that the lower bound of the variance of estimated total weight is attained.

Keywords:

robustness, spring balance weighing design, total weight

Classification:

62K05, 62K10
