在本論文中，我們討論無截距項多項式迴歸模型之c-最適設計。Huang
and Chen 於1996年已證出在 $[-1,1]$估計某些個別迴歸係數時，有截距項
d階多項式迴歸模型之c-最適設計與無截距項相同。我們找到
在[-1,1]估計其他未被證出的個別迴歸迴歸係數之c-最適設計。針對無截距項模型，我們證出支撐點(support
points) 在 [-b,b]具尺度不變性(scale invariant)。最後我們利用
Elfving定理討論在不對稱區間中估計
2階無截距項多項式迴歸模型之迴歸係數。

In this work, we investigate c-optimal design for polynomial regression model without
intercept. Huang and Chen (1996) showed that the c-optimal design for the dth degree
polynomial with intercept is still the optimal design for the no-intercept model for estimating
certain individual coe cients over [−1, 1]. We found the c-optimal designs explicitly for
estimating other individual coe cients over [−1, 1], which have not been obtained earlier.
For the no-intercept model, it is shown that the support points are scale invariant over
[−b, b]. Finally some special cases are discussed for estimating the coe cients of the 2nd
degree polynomial without intercept by Elfving theorem over nonsymmetric interval [a, b].
