Popis: Model fitting when the variance function depends on unknown parameters is a popular problem in many areas of research. Iterated estimators which are asymptotically equivalent to maximum likelihood estimators are proposed and their convergence is discussed. From a computational point of view, these estimators are very close to the iteratively reweighted least-squares methods. The additive structure of the corresponding information matrices allows us to apply convex design theory which leads to optimal design algorithms. We conclude with examples which illustrate how to bridge our general results with specific applied needs. In particular, a model with experimental costs is introduced and is studied within the normalized design paradigm.
