Simple linear regression : y= + x +

Step 1 : The design matrix X and the constraints

Design matrix X constraints :

x lower upper
observation 1 45 45 70
observation 2 50 45 70
observation 3 55 45 70
observation 4 60 45 70
observation 5 65 45 70
observation 6 70 45 70

Step 2 : The extended design matrix F

y/1 y/2
observation 1 1 45
observation 2 1 50
observation 3 1 55
observation 4 1 60
observation 5 1 65
observation 6 1 70

Step 3 : Transpose the extended design matrix : FT

1 1 1 1 1 1
45 50 55 60 65 70

Step 4 : Compute FTF

6 345
345 20275

Step 5 : Compute (FTF)-1

7.72381 -0.1314
-0.1314 0.00229
Step 6 : Computing the optimality criterion

D-criterion : 0.0003809524
