Design optimization - Laplace-Chernoff risk #4

Closed BastienBlain closed 8 years ago

BastienBlain commented 9 years ago

According to the wiki, one way to get a design allowing to better distentangle two models is to minimize the Laplace-Chernoff risk. However, it seems that VBA efficiency is "minus the Chernoff risk ". Am I right in telling that one has to maximise this output?

If it be so, could we write it explicitely to avoid any confusion?

Bastien, You are absolutely right: the design efficiency is minus the Chernoff risk (cf: http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002280). And this is the output of VBA_designEfficiency.m. We will update the WIKI to prevent any confusion. Thank you! Jean.
