where the design points xi are known and the random variables Cik are independently normally distributed with zero mean and constant variance 0y2. In the theoretical development, but not in the numerical examples, we shall, without loss of generality, take 0-2 to be unity. The function st(x) is one of two known functions 81(x, 01) and 82(x, 02), where 01 and 02 are sets of unknown parameters of dimension m1 and in2. The purpose of the experiment is to determine which of the two models is true. The design of experiments for discriminating between any number of models has been investigated by several authors. References to this work and some comments on general aspects of the problem are given in the recent paper of Atkinson & Cox (1974) and in the ensuing discussion. Designs specific for discriminating between only two models have been derived by Fedorov & Malyutov (1972) and Fedorov & Uspensky (1975). In the present paper we collect, exemplify and generalize these results on designs for two models and describe the relationship with the designs of Atkinson & Cox, which are based on an extension of D-optimum design theory. In ? 2 we describe nonsequential designs which are the limits to which the sequential designs of ? 3 converge as the number of trials increases. In ? 4 we discuss the relationship between the two approaches when both models are linear. The least squares estimates of the parameters in the two models, which in general need not be linear, are the solutions of the equations
