Construction of MV- and SMV-optimum designs for binary response models

Some procedures to construct local MV- and SMV-optimumdesigns for binaryresponsemodels are already available in the literature. Explicit formulae of locally optimumdesigns for all possible values of the parameters are usually of interest. In order to identify locally MV- and SMV-optimumdesigns for different regions of the parameters of the model some assumptions have to be made and some theoretical results must be proved. The background to producing a computer code for implementing these computations is given. Designs for some models used in practice are also provided as well as the efficiencies for estimating the parameters.
