Abstract
For a given class of linear models in standard form an optimal experimental design is to be chosen for estimating some linear functions of the unknown parameters. An optimality criterion is defined to be a real function of the covariance matrices of the Gauss-Markov estimators. Conditions which are imposed on the criteria are monotonicity, quasiconvexity or quasiconcavity, and invariance or order-invariance. A characterization of the $D$-criterion by order-invariance is included which strengthens a result of P. Whittle. In the main part of the paper optimal designs for the usual two-way layouts in ANOVA are computed for large classes of optimality criteria. Some related optimization problems are solved with the technique of majorization of vectors in the sense of Schur.
