Task 1

I3S :

Devoted to the formal specification of the criteria C(R) for which we wish to find optimal, or near-optimal, designs. Several recently proposed criteria will be compared with classical MSPE, and a careful analysis of the impact of parameter errors, as well as of biasing effects related to the fact that predictions are made for the same process realization as the one that has generated our observations, will be conducted. Both prediction and localized criteria will be considered.

In short, Task 1 defines the ultimate performance criteria that we will seek to optimize in the project
