Abstract

The results presented in this paper are that part of IIASA's activity related to the application of the statistical methods in the optimization of monitoring networks. The main approach is based on the optimal experimental design theory. Two things are essential for this approach: an experimenter must have a model, or set of competitive models, which describe the observed process appropriately, and he must formulate quantitatively the objective of the expertments. In the forthcoming Part II, the monitoring network design problem will be considered for cases which include prior uncertain inputs, i.e.. weather conditions during a designed experiment. Some corresponding theoretical results have been reported by Atkinson and Fedorov (1988).
