We provide explicit solutions of the optimal design problem for discriminating between two Fourier regression models, which differ by at most three trigonometric functions. In general, the T-optimal discriminating design depends in a complicated way on the parameters of the larger model, and for special configurations of the parameters T-optimal discriminating designs can be found analytically. Moreover, we also study this dependence in the remaining cases by calculating the optimal designs numerically. In particular, it is demonstrated that D- and Ds-optimal designs have rather low efficiencies with respect to the T-optimality criterion.enDiscussion Paper / SFB 823;49/2015T-optimal designtrigonometric modelsChebyshev polynomiallinear optimality criteriamodel discrimination310330620working paper
