Abstract
The calibration problem has been discussed widely, by many authors adopting different lines of thought: Classical, Bayesian, Structural. We face the problem of a monlinear experimental design problem and we introduce a quasi-sequential procedure to overcome the poor initial knowledge about the parameters we want to estimate. A simulation study provides empirical evidence that significant improvements can be achieved.
