Abstract
In order to find D-optimal designs in statistics, we
often need to maximize a homogeneous polynomial as a function of proportions. We introduce two analytic approaches to solve D-optimal approximate designs under generalized linear models. The first approach provides analytic D-optimal allocations for generalized linear models with two factors. The second approach leads to explicit solutions for a class of generalized linear models with more than two factors. There are many other similar optimization problems of homogeneous polynomials that are open and
have potential applications in statistics.
