Abstract

We consider minimax-optimal designs for the prediction of individual parameters in random coefficient regression models. We focus on the minimax-criterion, which minimizes the “worst case” for the basic criterion with respect to the covariance matrix of random effects. We discuss particular models: linear and quadratic regression, in detail.
