Abstract
We construct approximate optimal designs for minimising absolute covariances between least-squares estimators of the parameters (or linear functions of the parameters) of a linear model, thereby rendering relevant parameter estimators approximately uncorrelated with each other. In particular, we consider first the case of the covariance between two linear combinations. We also consider the case of two such covariances. For this we first set up a compound optimisation problem which we transform to one of maximising two functions of the design weights simultaneously. The approaches are formulated for a general regression model and are explored through some examples including one practical problem arising in chemistry.
