As for all optimal designs, some prior information is needed to implement the optimal designs proposed. We demonstrate that this prior information may come from a pilot longitudinal study that has irregularly measured and noisy measurements, where for each subject one has available a small random number of repeated measurements that are randomly located on the domain. A second possibility of interest is that a pilot study consists of densely measured functional data and one intends to take only a few measurements at strategically placed locations in the domain for the future collection of similar data. We construct optimal designs by targeting two criteria: optimal designs to recover the unknown underlying smooth random trajectory for each subject from a few optimally placed measurements such that squared prediction errors are minimized; optimal designs that minimize prediction errors for functional linear regression with functional or longitudinal predictors and scalar responses, again from a few optimally placed measurements. The optimal designs proposed address the need for sparse data collection when planning longitudinal studies, by taking advantage of the close connections between longitudinal and functional data analysis. We demonstrate in simulations that the designs perform considerably better than randomly chosen design points and include a motivating data example from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. The designs are shown to have an asymptotic optimality property.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/rssb.12192","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,27]],"date-time":"2016-06-27T11:44:41Z","timestamp":1467027881000},"page":"859-876","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Optimal Designs for Longitudinal and Functional Data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"79","author":[{"given":"Hao","family":"Ji","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California at Davis \u00a0 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hans-Georg","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California at Davis \u00a0 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023021801094118000_rssb12192-cit-0001","first-page":"9","volume-title":"Advances in Model-oriented Design and Analysis","author":"Anisimov","year":"2007"},{"key":"2023021801094118000_rssb12192-cit-0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.1016\/S0167-7152(99)00036-X","article-title":"Functional linear model","volume":"45","author":"Cardot","year":"1999","journal-title":"Statist.
